It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Pickney and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and much less worried. A job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations very simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Pickney (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They can also deal with the standard troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
