It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated talking about the weekend's golf, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Nunney Catch and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental in error. She was very agitated apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a few miles from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely never start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run out of fuel in Nunney Catch (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.
