It was just after seven pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the seventh job to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Egford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in the event that you may have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Any time you find yourself in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical skills and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.
