It was after six pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were resting going over the recent golf rankings, prepared for the 6th call to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Edford and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover rental. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was just a few miles from the office, we could reach the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not knowing how to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Edford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the standard problems that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Edford - Edford Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a fantastic evening hiking on the weekend and felt satisfied the following day as I headed out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Edford. They had conked out after inserting diesel into their Volkswagen, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this situation comes to pass quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he yet still had an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would ask me if ever I made the very same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
