It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and me were seated talking over the golf results, prepared for the 6th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in West Buckland and put petrol in her diesel MINI lease car in error. The poor lady was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will likely produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Have an old fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

We will help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car.
