It was about 7 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the sports results, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lower Marsh and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe position and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Lower Marsh (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car. They are also able to take care of any of the usual troubles which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Lower Marsh - Lower Marsh Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a perfect day fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I was en route to aid a young family on holiday in Lower Marsh. They stopped after adding petrol into their Chevrolet, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked while I listened to the wife telling off her spouse for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this problem takes place everyday in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he still had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good bye and considered what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
