It was around 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing going over the rugby, at the ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Charlton Mackrell and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen lease car by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to get the car into a safe position and, since it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

Services We Provide:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? It can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Charlton Mackrell (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will fix the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Charlton Mackrell - Charlton Mackrell Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt satisfied the next working day as I headed out to aid a young family vacationing in Charlton Mackrell. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their Chevrolet, and were close to an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed while I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens frequently in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, however he yet still got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
