It was after 5 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated going over the recent footy results, prepared for the sixth job to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Lyngford and filled petrol in a diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Lyngford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the most common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Lyngford - Lyngford Fuel Removal

A guy had stopped just near a road in Lyngford. His Suzuki engine had ceased running and he'd no clue what was the problem until eventually he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
