It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were sitting talking about the recent rugby, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Dulverton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, as it was just a short distance off from our van, we could reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

We can easily come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck 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 (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the standard issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

"Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
