It was just before 6 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the recent golf results, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Combe Hay and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai lease car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my opinion!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Combe Hay (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
