It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were resting discussing the recent tennis rankings, ready for the next telephone call to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Ubley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental. She was very agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a few miles off from the office, we could reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And of course take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite expediently.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of fuel in Ubley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
