We are SPA qualified, and offers national coverage for any person who has mistakenly filled up with the incorrect fuel.

It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Puxton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at her right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Puxton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They can also handle any of the typical troubles that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
