It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were seated going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Ilminster and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW hire car. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Diesel
All over Somerset we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.
Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.
In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly easily.
Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Got a fuel container lying in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.
Re-Fueling Services
Out of fuel in Ilminster (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the standard issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
Fuel Drain Ilminster - Ilminster Wrong Fuel Doctor
Last week a motorist called us after his Citroen stopped in the middle of a road in Ilminster. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel car and was only able to drive to the road before being forced to halt. It was early in the morning and our technical engineer, who resides not far away, got to him in about a quarter hour. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your prompt response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I am grateful for it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Ilminster
Here are examples and instances of wrong fuel removal we've undertaken in Ilminster:
We fairly recently had a call from a man who put the incorrect fuel in his Land Rover in Ilminster. He had ground to a halt on the road. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the quandary up until the time it broke down. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it working . I was impressed because of both your speed and your value for money". It goes without saying that we showed up rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. The driver was delighted by the time we finished and he was able to drive away completely happy.
Fuel Drain Ilminster - Ilminster Vehicle Misfuel
This was exactly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had been pretty quiet thus far, and John and I were loafing perusing a few old magazines. That was an unusual tranquil hour in Somerset. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I just ended my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel Porsche". I told him to inform us where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Ilminster only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He said thank you for arriving so quickly. While we were returning home we spotted two young women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, to their delight.
Wrong Fuel Drain Ilminster - Ilminster Fuel Rescue
Yesterday a gentleman contacted us because his Dacia stopped along a street in Ilminster. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel motor and was only able to get so far as the road before having to pull over. It was really early in the morning and our engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in about 15 minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."
