It was about seven pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and me were seated talking over the sports, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Whitecross and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental car. The poor lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and less worried. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you discover youself to be in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is going to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances very simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Whitecross (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the most common problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
