It was just before five pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting going over the rugby, waiting around for the 8th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Haydon and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. One more job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.
