Fuel Removal Sherborne - Sherborne Wrong Fuel

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and I was off to help an old lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Jaguar in Sherborne. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a country lane on route to visit her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel because I had only just acquired it a couple of days ago when my other car, which I'd used for over 25 years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Gloucestershire lady!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Sherborne (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will handle the standard issues which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

A customer called us from his place on a street in Sherborne. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a MINI) is not starting and is creating very bad noises when I turn the key."

Recent Fuel Drains in Sherborne

Some of the more common things we have heard from the employees in Sherborne:

Vehicle Misfuel Sherborne - Sherborne Wrong Fuel

This was exactly what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become fairly dead up to now, and me and Ryan were relaxing looking through a few old papers. It was an unusual calm hour in Gloucestershire. Actually it was so quiet that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I leaped! The customer stated: "I just concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a Nissan by mistake". I asked him to tell us where the vehicle was located and we left, reaching him in Sherborne only an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the car and he said thanks for arriving so rapidly. While we were going back home we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their elation.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sherborne - Sherborne Wrong Fuel

A while back a motorist phoned us just after his Mercedes broke down along a road in Sherborne. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel motor and was only able to get as far as the street before having to pull over. It was really in the early hours of the day and our technician, who resides close by, reached him in less than twenty minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 4 a.m., I am grateful for it."
