It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the rugby, ready for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Kingston Seymour and put petrol in her diesel Honda rental in error. The poor lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we could get to the woman right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely take care not to start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

We are able to come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.
