It was before six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were sitting talking about the rugby rankings, at the ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Lower Godney and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar lease car. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not understanding the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will often result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Lower Godney (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the usual problems that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
