It was just before 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were sitting there discussing the recent golf results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Shepton Mallet and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel is likely to produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Shepton Mallet (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They will deal with the most common problems which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shepton Mallet - Shepton Mallet Wrong Fuel Assist

A motorist had stopped just off a street in Shepton Mallet. His Mercedes engine had stopped running and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
