It was just after ten pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Alcombe and put petrol in a diesel MG rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was just a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and much less anxious. Another job in Somerset done well in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in case you have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is made of a mix of urea and ionized water.Adblue is certainly damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly do not start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle 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 techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile.
