It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were seated discussing the recent footy results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Lufton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could get to the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and not so apprehensive. A job in Somerset well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Lufton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the most common problems which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A gentleman had broken down near a street in Lufton. His Porsche car had ceased running and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle.
