It was before ten pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were seated talking over the weekend's football, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Hartford and put petrol in her diesel Smart lease car by mistake. She was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we could get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less concerned. A fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly do not start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hartford (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
