It was around 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were seated there talking about the rugby results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Butcombe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental by mistake. The poor thing was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and not so apprehensive.

Our Fields of Expertise:

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed if you may have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never start up the car - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is likely to cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
