We're just a telephone call away.

It was around eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Felton and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases rather expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Felton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They will fix the most common troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Felton - Felton Fuel Rescue

A couple of days ago a youngster telephoned us just after his Jaguar cut out in the middle of a road in Felton. He had unintentionally put petrol in his diesel car and had managed to get to the street before being forced to pull over. It was in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who resides close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
