It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Hinton St George and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, because it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? It tends to be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you started the car with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can potentially trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hinton St George (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to handle any of the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
