It was just before ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there discussing the weekend's golf, prepared for the 8th job to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Stoford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes lease car. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in case you have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stoford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the typical issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Stoford - Stoford Fuel Drain

A person contacted us from his home on a road in Stoford. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Audi) is not starting and is producing awful noises when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
