It was just before ten pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting commenting on the recent football, waiting around for the next call to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Radlet and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you get in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases rather expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Radlet (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will deal with the usual problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Radlet - Radlet Petrol in Diesel

A week ago a customer contacted us right after his Volvo ground to a halt along a road in Radlet. He had by mistake put unleaded in the diesel motor and was only able to drive so far as the street before having to stop. It was early in the morning and our technician, who stays nearby, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your prompt response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
