It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the next call that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Ashbrittle and filled petrol in a diesel Ford lease car in error. The poor lady was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at her right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? It is actually devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing serious and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously don't start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases quite simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Ashbrittle (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your automobile. They will deal with the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Ashbrittle - Ashbrittle Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a terrific day hiking during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a young family on holiday in Ashbrittle. They broken down after adding diesel in their Toyota, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife telling her husband off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass constantly in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. Anyway, I drained out all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove away I waved good-bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
