It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting there talking about the golf rankings, waiting for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Somerton and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental car in error. The poor thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations rather simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Somerton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your 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 (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also deal with any of the usual troubles which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Somerton - Somerton Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer phoned us from his house on a street in Somerton. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Mitsubishi) is not starting up and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
