Finally we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Low Ham and filled petrol in her diesel BMW lease car. She was quite troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!"

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you may have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water.It can be damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
