Fuel Removal West Horrington - West Horrington Fuel Drain

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and I was en route to assist an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel Nissan in West Horrington. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a country road on route to see her godchildren. I plugged her location in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only just got it a week ago after my former one, which I'd used for in excess of 25 years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Somerset woman!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several private and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.
