It was after 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting going over the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Barrow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car. The unfortunate thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles from the office, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not knowing the way to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the practical expertise and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Barrow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car or truck.
