It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 8th call to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Bruton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Another job in Somerset done well in my books!

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical know-how and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is likely to produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bruton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will handle the common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Bruton - Bruton Fuel Removal

A person called us from his house on a close in Bruton. He said, "My car (a Land Rover) is not running and is producing very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
