It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's football, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Somerton and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Somerton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They will deal with the standard troubles that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
