It was before six pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Woolminstone and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar lease car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Woolminstone (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car. They will deal with the usual problems that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A motorist had stopped just off a road in Woolminstone. His Land Rover car had stopped working and he had no idea what was awry till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had got zero rest the night before and that must have been why.
