We were on scene inside a quarter-hour because our drainer was in nearby Pond Close and had just done his previous job. He said, "I don't believe I put petrol in my diesel car and got stuck here! My vehicle was chugging I simply were forced to stop and subsequently it just conked."

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously don't switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run out of fuel in Pond Close (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the standard problems that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Pond Close - Pond Close Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a young man phoned us after his Ford broke down along a street in Pond Close. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and drove as far as the street before having to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who stays not far away, got to him in about 15 minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 1 a.m., I really appreciate it."
