It was just before seven pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Draycott and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot lease car. She was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was just a few miles from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises full of 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 privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of 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 mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Draycott (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Draycott - Draycott Wrong Fuel

A customer had stopped near a road in Draycott. His Kia engine had ceased working and he'd no idea what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.
