It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting commenting on the recent sports, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in East Compton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche hire car. She was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously do not turn over the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in East Compton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will fix the common issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
