It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting discussing the golf rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Shepton Mallet and put petrol in a diesel Fiat rental. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously never start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Shepton Mallet (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the usual troubles which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
