It was before 10 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated talking over the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Chelwood and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.
