It was before eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were relaxing commenting on the recent football rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. Finally we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in West Hatch and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar lease car by mistake. She was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance from us, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations rather simply.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in West Hatch (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They will fix the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel West Hatch - West Hatch Fuel Drain

A gentleman rang us from his place on a close in West Hatch. He explained, "My vehicle (a Renault) is not starting up and is making dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
