It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in West Wick and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from the office, we could find her right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less apprehensive. One more job in Somerset well done in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in West Wick (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue West Wick - West Wick Wrong Fuel

I had a fantastic afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I headed out to aid a new family holidaying in West Wick. They stopped after putting petrol in their Mercedes, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and laughed as I listened to the gal chastising her partner for turning out to be so daft. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this takes place on a regular basis in Somerset and that it's really nothing at all to be anxious about, but he still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!
