It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting there commenting on the golf, prepared for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Kingsbury Episcopi and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental by mistake. The poor lady was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at her right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. A job in Somerset well done in my books!

Services We Deliver:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Kingsbury Episcopi (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the typical issues that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Kingsbury Episcopi - Kingsbury Episcopi Petrol in Diesel

A customer had conked out near a road in Kingsbury Episcopi. His Dacia car had stopped operating and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten very little sleep the day before and that must have been the reason why.
