It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the recent golf, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Tone and put petrol in a diesel Citroen rental in error. The poor thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, since it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Tone (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your automobile. They will deal with any of the typical problems which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
