It was before five pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting talking over the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Burrow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite expediently.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Burrow (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix the standard problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Burrow - Burrow Wrong Fuel

Yesterday a driver telephoned us after his SEAT stopped working along a road in Burrow. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel motor and drove so far as the road before having to halt. It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who stays close by, arrived with him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, particularly at 6 a.m., I appreciate it."
