It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's football, waiting for the seventh call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in South Petherton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at.

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely never start up the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in South Petherton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They can also handle the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A customer rang us from his residence on a street in South Petherton. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Fiat) is not starting up and is making terrible sounds when I flip the ignition."

We arrived promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel.
