It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the golf, waiting for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Dulverton and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental by mistake. She was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from us, we could get to the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
