It was after six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the recent sports rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in West Hatch and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen rental car. She was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in case you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is certainly damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you get in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the specialised know-how and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, if we can access it, we can empty it for you.

They can also take care of any of the normal problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor West Hatch - West Hatch Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling delighted the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family who were away in West Hatch. They had stopped after adding diesel into their Peugeot, and the car was around an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass regularly in Somerset and that it's nothing to fret about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
