It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were seated commenting on the weekend's sports results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Wanstrow and filled petrol in a diesel Honda rental in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things often happen. She managed to get the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations pretty easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying at the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Wanstrow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the common issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
