It was about eight pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting commenting on the weekend's footy, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Purtington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Sunday and we were on the way to help an old sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Volvo in Purtington. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a country road on route to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I got to the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she said, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel because I'd only acquired it a few days ago right after my old one, which I had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Somerset lady!

Our Areas of Competency :
Below are the top services we give to our clients.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All around Somerset we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.
Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly swiftly.
Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Recent Fuel Drains in Purtington
A few stories:
I am not actually excessively hot for doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the family filled with a superb Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was off to deal with a fellow because he put the incorrect petrol in his Peugeot. He was situated in Purtington and so I was on scene almost immediately. Just as I drove up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise God! I had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused any kind of damage as a result of running it?" I said generally there should not be problems and that I'd get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and so yet another happy customer could continue on his travelling without fuss. He could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Somerset that little easier for me personally!
Wrong Fuel Purtington - Purtington Wrong Fuel in Car
A young lady from Purtington with her kids in her diesel Porsche had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the filling station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely worried as she had never wrong fuelled previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything should be ok and that she would be up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the little ones on board."
