Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in case you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? It tends to be damaging to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Combe Down (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to take care of the usual issues which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Combe Down - Combe Down Fuel Drain

A couple of days ago a driver contacted us when his Lexus ground to a halt in the middle of a street in Combe Down. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel vehicle and drove to the road before having to stop. It was in the early hours of the day and our technician, who lives close by, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Combe Down

Several reports:

I am not excessively interested in working on weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd just left the wife and kids filled with a lovely dinner prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman after he had filled the wrong petrol in his Renault. He was somewhere in Combe Down therefore it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and did not grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any harm through driving it?" I revealed that there probably should not be problems and that I would personally remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible for him. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and one more happy client was able to continue his ride with no fuss. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes earning a living on Sundays in Somerset just a small bit easier for me personally!

Fuel Removal Combe Down - Combe Down Petrol in Diesel

A young lady from Combe Down with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Citroen had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Co Op station. She contacted us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything would be ok and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

Wrong Fuel Combe Down - Combe Down Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon golfing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a new couple vacationing in Combe Down. They'd conked out after adding petrol in their Volkswagen, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling her partner off for being so daft. "Just how could you even manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on continuously in Somerset and that it is nothing to be concerned about, but he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
