It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Greenham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda lease car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, as it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Greenham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the typical troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Greenham - Greenham Wrong Fuel

A customer called us from his residence on a road in Greenham. He said, "My vehicle (a Peugeot) is not running and is producing dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
