It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the rugby results, waiting around for the next call to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Old Down and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Old Down (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also fix the standard issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
