It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated going over the golf rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Wales and put petrol in her diesel Fiat rental by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from where we were, we could reach the woman right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously don't start up the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather expediently.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Wales (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Wales - Wales Fuel Rescue

A motorist had conked out just near a road in Wales. His MINI car had stopped working and he'd no idea what was wrong right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no rest the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
