It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the football, ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Walpole and filled petrol in her diesel Dacia hire car in error. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Walpole (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They can also fix the normal troubles which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
