It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent football results, at the ready for the next job to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Rhode and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe space and, because it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Rhode (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the common problems which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Rhode - Rhode Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a great afternoon cycling during my off day and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple vacationing in Rhode. They stopped after putting diesel into their Vauxhall, and they were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her man off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Somerset and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, but he all the same got his ear bent. Poor chap. At any rate, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!
