It was before six pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing discussing the recent sports, at the ready for the 6th call to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Sticklepath and put petrol in a diesel SEAT hire car. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you find yourself in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Sticklepath (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will fix the usual problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Sticklepath - Sticklepath Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had conked out just near a street in Sticklepath. His MINI car had stopped working and he'd no idea what was wrong until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason.
