It was around 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting talking about the tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Combe and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Combe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of the standard problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Combe - Combe Fuel Rescue

I had a great day cycling on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a young couple who were away in Combe. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their Chevrolet, and the car was about an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled as I heard to the girl telling her partner off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing happens regularly in Somerset and that it is nothing to worry about, but he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!
