It was close to seven pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were sitting there talking over the football results, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Somerton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed if you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made from a blend of high-purity urea and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Rescue Somerton - Somerton Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a terrific evening fishing during my off day and was feeling delighted the following working day as I set off to assist a new family on vacation in Somerton. They stopped after inserting diesel into their Honda, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for being so silly. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation takes place on a regular basis in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to worry about, but he yet still had an earful. Unlucky boy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted good bye and considered what my missus would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
