It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased raining! James and me were sitting commenting on the recent rugby, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in North Cheriton and filled petrol in her diesel Audi rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly do not switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Remember that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container at the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in North Cheriton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also take care of any of the common issues that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
