It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were seated there going over the weekend's golf, ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Houndsmoor and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less stressed. A job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Somerset we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of how to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.
Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations quite expediently.
Take note that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Have a fuel container placed at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Fuel Removal Houndsmoor - Houndsmoor Wrong Fuel Drain
I had appreciated a perfect evening hiking on my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family on holiday in Houndsmoor. They'd stopped after filling diesel into their Dacia, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I listened to the woman telling off her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this situation happens continuously in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and wondered what my missus would do to me if I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
