It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing talking about the recent rugby, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Tone and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota rental by mistake. She was very irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. A job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Tone (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
