It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Swell and put petrol in her diesel Nissan lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, since it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Swell (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with any of the normal issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Swell - Swell Vehicle Misfuel

A while back a customer telephoned us when his BMW cut out in the middle of a road in Swell. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in the diesel car and got so far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was really early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, reached him in about a quarter hour. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I really appreciate it."
