It was about six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 8th call to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Whitchurch and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall lease car in error. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we could find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Sunday and we were off to help an elder lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen in Whitchurch. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and was broken down in a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I had just bought it a week ago after my other car, which I had for in excess of 25 years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. Such a delightful Somerset woman!

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Somerset we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.
Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather simply.
Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Whitchurch - Whitchurch Petrol in Diesel
I had appreciated a fantastic day fishing during my off day and was feeling pleased the following day as I set off to help a young couple vacationing in Whitchurch. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their MINI, and the car was around an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place continuously in Somerset and that it is nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor lad. Anyhow, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Whitchurch
Testimonies from our Whitchurch technicians:
We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval job outside a beautiful property in Whitchurch recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to nearly reach home when my car stopped." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and carried out a full fuel drain and purge on the Honda .
Wrong Fuel Doctor Whitchurch - Whitchurch Vehicle Misfuel
A woman from Whitchurch with a full car of little ones in her diesel BMW had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us weeping and extremely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that the vehicle would be okay and that she would be ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived she was still upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the children in the back."
