It was just after eight pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there talking over the recent golf, waiting for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Wick and put petrol in her diesel Dacia rental in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Wick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the most common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wick - Wick Fuel Rescue

The other day a gentleman called us right after his BMW broke down on a street in Wick. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to pull up. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
