It was just after 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated discussing the golf, waiting for the 6th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Cothelstone and filled petrol in her diesel Citroen rental in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and not so concerned. Yet another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly harmful to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Cothelstone (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to deal with the common problems which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
