It was just before ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Dimmer and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Dimmer (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will take care of the most common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Dimmer - Dimmer Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a close in Dimmer. He said, "My car (a Fiat) is not starting and is creating very bad noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
