It was just before 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting discussing the recent football rankings, prepared for the next call to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Forton and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo rental in error. The poor thing was very affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and less stressed. A job in Somerset done well in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course don't switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Forton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also deal with the common issues which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Forton - Forton Vehicle Misfuel

A person phoned us from his residence on a street in Forton. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Audi) is not starting and is creating dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
