It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Priorswood and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things happen. She was able to move the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we could find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and much less worried. Another job in Somerset done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel can cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Priorswood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile.
