It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there discussing the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Compton Pauncefoot and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car. She was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to get the car into a secure space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Somerset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Compton Pauncefoot (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the standard issues that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Compton Pauncefoot - Compton Pauncefoot Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman phoned us from his residence on a street in Compton Pauncefoot. He said, "My vehicle (a Honda) is not running and is generating awful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
