It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the recent football results, waiting for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Felton and put petrol in her diesel Jaguar hire car. She was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles from us, we could get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have found progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Felton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will take care of the usual problems which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A man phoned us from Felton saying he unfortunately pumped unleaded in his diesel Hyundai. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!"

The customer was completely satisfied and it didn't cost him car dealership rates to get the job properly done.
