Excellent question. Our firm is SPA certified, and provides countrywide coverage for anyone who has accidentally filled up with the wrong fuel.

It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting going over the golf, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Catcott and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, since it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a mix of ionized water and urea (32.5%).It is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will be squirted into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is going to produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Catcott (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to handle any of the normal troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
