It was before six pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there going over the weekend's football, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Chilcompton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and less worried.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
