Fuel Drain Thurloxton - Thurloxton Wrong Fuel Drain

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to assist an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel Mazda in Thurloxton. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down along a rural road en route to see her grandchildren. I punched her location in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only just purchased it a short while ago when my previous one, which I used for about 30 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Somerset lady!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course never crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Run out of fuel in Thurloxton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

They will be able to handle any of the standard problems which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Thurloxton

Testimonies from our own Thurloxton employees:

I am not that inclined to running Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd just left the wife and kids after eating a tasty dinner prepared for me by the better half, and I was on the way to help a guy after he had filled the wrong petrol in his Land Rover. He was located in Thurloxton therefore it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on other considerations and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused any harm because of running it?" I stated there shouldn't be any damage and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once. As expected I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and so another pleased customer could carry on with his trip without the difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that helps make earning a living on Sundays in Somerset just a small bit better for me personally!

A woman employed in Thurloxton contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel MINI and, like many people before her, thought that she would be able to simply fill her vehicle with diesel and it would run no problem. The car was chugging and then it died when she reached the the front of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted within 60 minutes whilst she was at work. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm very pleased you fixed my vehicle."
