It was about 9 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the recent golf rankings, ready for the 8th call to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Overleigh and put petrol in her diesel MG lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Overleigh (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Overleigh - Overleigh Fuel Rescue

I had a wonderful afternoon fishing on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple holidaying in Overleigh. They'd stopped after putting diesel in their BMW, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still got an earful. Poor guy. Anyhow, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
