It was after 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were seated going over the weekend's sports, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Combe Hay and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI lease car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot 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!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it if you?ve put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel may well result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Combe Hay (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the most common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
