It was before six pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Nailwell and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to find her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Nailwell (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the usual issues which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
