It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated talking over the footy rankings, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Chelwood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen.

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very quickly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Chelwood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They can also handle any of the typical troubles that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

A motorist had stopped near a road in Chelwood. His MINI engine had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was awry until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten very little sleep the day before and that could have been why.
