It was close to 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Chedzoy and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia hire car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical know-how and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

They are also able to take care of the normal issues that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Chedzoy - Chedzoy Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a terrific evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new family vacationing in Chedzoy. They broken down after inserting diesel into their Citroen, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling her partner off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem occurs quite frequently in Somerset and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
