It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 6th call for the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in West Buckland and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet lease car by mistake. She was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach her swiftly.

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not start the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in West Buckland (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
