It was about 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were seated there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Bath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar rental car in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In Diesel
All over Somerset we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.
Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.
Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations fairly easily.
Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
Waste Fuel Management
Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.
Re-Fueling Services
Out of fuel in Bath (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the normal troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
