It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent footy rankings, waiting for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Chew Magna and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental in error. She was fairly distressed apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Chew Magna (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill the car. They will handle any of the typical issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
