It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's sports, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in East Lydeard and put petrol in a diesel BMW lease car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was only a short distance away from our van, we could reach her quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and less worried. One more job in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may well bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in East Lydeard (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car. They will be able to handle the most common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist East Lydeard - East Lydeard Wrong Fuel Drain

The other day a young man contacted us soon after his SEAT stopped working on a street in East Lydeard. He had accidentally put the wrong fuel in his diesel motor and drove to the street before being forced to give up. It was still early in the morning and our technician, who resides nearby, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
