It was just after seven pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the recent golf, at the ready for the sixth call to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Bathwick and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental. She was very distressed it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at.

Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people not knowing how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Bathwick (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to handle the most common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
