It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting going over the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Greenham and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT lease car. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. Another job in Somerset well done in my books!

Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a mixture of ionized water and urea (32.5%).It is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel tank at the back of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Greenham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home.

Fuel Rescue Greenham - Greenham Fuel Rescue

I'd had a perfect evening golfing during my off day and felt cheerful the following working day as I headed out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Greenham. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their Dacia, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman berating her man for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing goes on on a regular basis in Somerset and that it is nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything got an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
