It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the golf rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Newbridge and put petrol in a diesel Renault hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. One more job in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations very simply.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Newbridge (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Newbridge - Newbridge Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer called us from his home on a street in Newbridge. He said, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting and is producing dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
