It was around 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated talking over the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Fulwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the lady without delay.

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.
