It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there discussing the tennis, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Washford and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. The unfortunate thing was very distressed it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from our van, we could get to the woman right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this scenario do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Washford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home.
