Petrol in your diesel car in Tone? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this hour of need and get you moving again with our specialist wrong fuel removal service.

It was close to 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the footy, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Tone and put petrol in her diesel Jaguar hire car. The poor thing was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to find the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously don't start the car - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run out of fuel in Tone (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck.

Petrol in Diesel Tone - Tone Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman called us from his home on a road in Tone. He said, "My vehicle (a Hyundai) is not starting and is producing dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however thought he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
