It was about 9 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Slape Cross and filled petrol in her diesel Citroen hire car. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and not so concerned. Yet another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you may have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather simply.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of fuel in Slape Cross (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the typical issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
