It was after 10 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in West Buckland and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance off from us, we could find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in West Buckland (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the standard problems that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel West Buckland - West Buckland Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer rang us from his residence on a road in West Buckland. He pronounced, "My car (a Ford) is not running and is making terrible sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
