It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting discussing the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the next job to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Wellington and filled petrol in a diesel Renault hire car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Specialties:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Wellington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Wellington - Wellington Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman had broken down off a street in Wellington. His Volvo car had stopped functioning and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that must have been why.
