It was just after five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were resting there going over the golf results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Pond Close and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite affected apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Fuel Removal Pond Close - Pond Close Vehicle Misfuel

A guy had conked out just near a street in Pond Close. His Vauxhall motor had ceased working and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the night before and that could have been precisely why.
