It was after ten pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Wick and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we could find the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in.

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can easily trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Wick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car.
