It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting commenting on the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Newbridge and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. A job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
