It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Dinnington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental. The poor lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the car to a secure position and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.
