It was just after seven pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the rugby, prepared for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Ubley and put petrol in her diesel Kia rental car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. Another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
