It was just after five pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Winsham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things happen.

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We can easily come to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.
