It was after 7 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the weekend's golf, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Lower Weacombe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental car. The unfortunate lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to find her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely never start up the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.
