It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there going over the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th job for the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Batch and filled petrol in a diesel Mercedes lease car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, since it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in.

Services We Deliver:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Removal Batch - Batch Vehicle Misfuel

A man called us from Batch to say he had unfortunately piped petrol into his diesel SEAT. "What a pain! I can't believe I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It only took the engineer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He carefully flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean fuel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him car dealership prices to get the job properly done.
