Our driver was called to a service station in South Cheriton when a elderly lady misfueled her Nissan by putting unleaded in her diesel car. She was in an irritated and bewildered frame of mind but we immediately calmed her nerves by letting her know that we could be with her car in an hour to perform the necessary work and that the vehicle would shortly be running and she'd be off again. As we'd promised she was just that, but not before saying: "Your firm is incredibly service driven, I'm especially happy my vehicle is okay," and that she'd endorse us to anyone.

Just call our rapid response number and one will come to you, drain the contaminated fuel and get you quickly back on your way.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't start the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may likely have 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 generally a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in South Cheriton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the normal issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain South Cheriton - South Cheriton Fuel Rescue

I had a perfect afternoon fishing on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were on vacation in South Cheriton. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their Citroen, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I heard to the girl berating her husband for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this happens frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing to worry about, even so he all the same got an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
