It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the football results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Southmarsh and put petrol in a diesel SEAT rental. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and less worried. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously don't start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Southmarsh (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will deal with any of the common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Southmarsh - Southmarsh Fuel Drain

A gentleman had conked out just near a road in Southmarsh. His Skoda engine had stopped operating and he had no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been precisely why.
