It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were resting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Whitchurch and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, because it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases rather easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Whitchurch (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will help 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 perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the normal issues that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Whitchurch - Whitchurch Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the following day as I set off to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Whitchurch. They pulled over after inserting diesel in their MINI, and were close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady berating her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation takes place quite frequently in Somerset and that it is nothing to fret about, however he all the same had an ear bashing. Poor guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted good bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same error... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
