Ryan and I were sitting there going over the weekend's golf, prepared for the sixth call to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Link and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia lease car in error. The poor thing was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen.

Fuel Removal Link - Link Vehicle Misfuel

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 on a warm Sunday and I was off to help an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel Suzuki in Link. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a backwater lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only acquired it a week back because my previous one, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, inevitably died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a lovely Somerset woman!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is composed of a mix of high-purity urea and deionized water (67.5%).It is certainly devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Link (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the standard problems which might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Petrol in Diesel Link - Link Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt contented with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Link. They'd stopped after inserting petrol in their Honda, and were about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass continuously in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, however he still had an earful. Poor chap. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!
