It was just after 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were sitting there going over the footy results, prepared for the sixth call to come in. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Saltford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental car. The unfortunate thing was very affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.
