Wrong Fuel in Car Dolemeads, Somerset

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Rescue Dolemeads - Dolemeads Wrong Fuel Assist

This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was about sunrise and nobody was around. It was rather quiet up to now, and Paul and I were sitting browsing several old newspapers. This was an uncommon calm time in Somerset. It was indeed that tranquil that when the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist told me: "I concluded my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel Volvo by mistake". I told him to inform us where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in Dolemeads not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor and he said thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were coming back home we noticed two young women on the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.
