We're simply a telephone call away.

It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were resting talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Amesbury and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Amesbury (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They can also fix any of the most common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Amesbury - Amesbury Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out just near a street in Amesbury. His Mazda motor had ceased working and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.
