It was just before ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Higher Vexford and filled petrol in a diesel Ford lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Higher Vexford - Higher Vexford Fuel Removal

I'd had a great day golfing during the weekend and felt contented with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were on holiday in Higher Vexford. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their Mazda, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the gal telling off her hubby for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, however he still got his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and wondered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
