It was around 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there discussing the footy, at the ready for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Wilmington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :
Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Somerset we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.
Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.
In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases pretty simply.
Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages.

We can get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

Recent Fuel Drains in Wilmington
Various examples:
Now I am not necessarily excessively keen on doing work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a tasty dinner prepared for me by the missus, and I was on my way to help a man who had put the incorrect fuel in his Land Rover. He was situated in Wilmington so I was there rapidly. As I arrived behind the car and got out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I had my attention on stuff and failed to ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about some harm by running it?" I revealed generally there should not be any kind of harm and that I would personally drain the fuel as quickly as possible. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and then one more contented motorist had the ability to carry on with their travelling with no difficulty. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and that makes earning a living on weekends in Somerset just that little bit easier for me!
Fuel Drain Wilmington - Wilmington Wrong Fuel
A woman living in Wilmington phoned us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan and, like many people prior to her, believed that she would be able to simply top up her car with diesel and it would run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired inside an hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you repaired my vehicle."
