A man conked out on a road in Portland had to have a fuel drain around a month back. His Lexus was stopped roadside after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he contacted us but somewhat worried to get his car from the road seeing that he was generating some traffic. We got to him inside fifteen minutes since our drainer was in neighbouring Portland and had done a fuel drain. He said, "I just do not believe I put petrol in my diesel car and got stuck right here! My vehicle was chugging I just needed to pull over and after that it just conked."

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can potentially result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations very easily.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Portland (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your automobile. They can also fix any of the most common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Portland - Portland Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to help a young couple vacationing in Portland. They stopped after filling petrol in their Skoda, and the car was roughly an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this situation occurs constantly in Somerset and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
