It was after 6 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the golf rankings, waiting around for the next call to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Lillesdon and filled petrol in her diesel Toyota rental in error. She was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Lillesdon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck.

Fuel Drain Lillesdon - Lillesdon Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a wonderful day golfing on my afternoon off and felt pleased the following working day as I set off to aid a new couple who were away in Lillesdon. They had conked out after adding diesel into their Chevrolet, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass on a regular basis in Somerset and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, but he all the same got an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
