Wrong Fuel in Car Holcombe, Somerset

Services We Provide:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Holcombe (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also handle the normal issues that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Holcombe - Holcombe Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a perfect evening fishing on my day off and was feeling contented the next morning as I set out to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Holcombe. They pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their Nissan, and they were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked as I heard to the wife telling off her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs continuously in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and considered what my wife would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Holcombe

Testimonies from our Holcombe employees:

Now I'm not overly hot for doing work on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just left home following a wonderful Sunday roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was en route to help a gentleman who had filled the wrong petrol in his Ford. He was located in Holcombe so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and failed to grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted damage as a result of driving it?" I revealed generally there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also that I would personally remove the wrong fuel immediately. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and yet another satisfied motorist could continue their ride with no hassle. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what helps make operating on weekends in Somerset a tiny bit less painful to me!

Wrong Fuel Holcombe - Holcombe Petrol in Diesel

A man who had unluckily put unleaded in his diesel Nissan called us for a fuel drain at the Texaco filling station in Holcombe. He decided to top up before continuing on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which probably wasn't a wonderful beginning to our getaway." It was no problem by any means for our technical engineer to go along and carry out the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their vacation.
