It was about 7 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting discussing the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Compton Bishop and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault hire car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at.

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist 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 registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Compton Bishop (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They can also handle the usual issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
