It was close to seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing talking about the recent football rankings, waiting around for the next call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Shalford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi rental by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from our van, we could find her right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and less stressed.

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Somerset we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.
Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Recent Fuel Drains in Shalford
Some examples:
Now I'm not ever very keen on working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from home after eating a tasty dinner cooked for us by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a gentleman because he filled the incorrect fuel in his Nissan. He was situated in Shalford and so I arrived on scene soon. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I had my mind on other things and didn't realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of problems through driving it?" I explained there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I'd personally drain the wrong fuel immediately for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and one more content client could continue on their ride without the difficulty. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and this is what makes earning a living on weekends in Somerset just a tiny bit better for me!
