A guy conked out on a street in Hemington needed a fuel drain roughly a month ago. His MINI was stopped on the road after he had put in the wrong fuel.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hemington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill the car. They will be able to fix the normal issues which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hemington - Hemington Wrong Fuel

I'd had a fantastic evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling delighted the following morning as I set off to help a new couple who were on holiday in Hemington. They conked out after filling petrol in their Hyundai, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed while I listened to the gal telling off her husband for being so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would never live it down!
