It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking about the rugby, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Weston-super-Mare and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly simply.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Weston-super-Mare (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Weston-super-Mare - Weston-super-Mare Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a great afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young family who were holidaying in Weston-super-Mare. They stopped after filling diesel in their Porsche, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this happens on a regular basis in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, but he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved farewell and thought about what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
