It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there talking about the rugby results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Wrantage and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental car. The poor lady was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Whenever you discover youself to be in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical know-how and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases very easily.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Wrantage (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Wrantage - Wrantage Fuel Rescue

I had a wonderful day fishing during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young family who were on vacation in Wrantage. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Ford, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the wife berating her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place regularly in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky lad. In any case, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would ask me if I made the very same error... I would never hear the end of it!
