It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Othery and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen rental in error. She was pretty affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is composed of a mix of high-purity urea and ionized water.Adblue is certainly devastating to your car's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing serious and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very simply.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

A gentleman rang us from his house on a close in Othery. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Kia) is not running and is generating very bad noises when I flip the ignition."
