It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated commenting on the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Stratton-on-the-Fosse and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being aware of the way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Drain Stratton-on-the-Fosse - Stratton-on-the-Fosse Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect day hiking on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a new couple holidaying in Stratton-on-the-Fosse. They had stopped after inserting diesel in their MINI, and they were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife berating her spouse for being so stupid. "How could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem occurs constantly in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
