It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were resting talking about the rugby rankings, ready for the sixth job to come in. Eventually we had a call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Woollard and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Woollard (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also fix the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Woollard - Woollard Vehicle Misfuel

A couple weeks ago a gentleman telephoned us when his SEAT stopped in the middle of a road in Woollard. He had by accident put petrol in his diesel motor and had managed to get so far as the street before being forced to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the car. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 6 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
