It was before 10 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in North Cheriton and filled petrol in her diesel Dacia rental. The poor thing was very affected apparently, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to her without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Somerset well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course be careful not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in North Cheriton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor North Cheriton - North Cheriton Wrong Fuel in Car

A week ago a customer contacted us soon after his Suzuki cut out along a road in North Cheriton. He had mistakenly put petrol in his diesel motor and drove as far as the road before being forced to stop. It was really early in the morning and our technician, who stays close by, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car.
