It was before 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the recent sports results, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Lower Burrow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another job in Somerset done well in my books!

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an old sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Dacia in Lower Burrow. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a rural lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a week ago because my old car, which I had for more than 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Somerset lady!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.
AdBlue Contamination
All over Somerset we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not knowing how to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely take care not to switch on the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases quite swiftly.
You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

A customer from Lower Burrow with her kids in her diesel MG had put £50 of petrol at the service station. She called us weeping and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that all should be alright and that she would be on the road very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined.
