It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Evercreech and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a short distance from us, we could reach the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course do not crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Evercreech (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will handle the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Evercreech - Evercreech Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer contacted us from his place on a street in Evercreech. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Kia) is not running and is generating very bad sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle however reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
