It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th call to arrive. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Crewkerne and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Crewkerne (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the standard issues that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Crewkerne - Crewkerne Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a great afternoon cycling during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I headed out to help a young family who were away in Crewkerne. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their Honda, and they were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Somerset and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, but he still had his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
