We're simply a phone call away.

It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing going over the weekend's football results, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Staplehay and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford rental. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, since it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. A job in Somerset done well in my books!

Assuming you've put the completely wrong fuel in the car and now need to have the contaminated fuel taken out you are probably browsing the web hunting for a rapid, trusted, competent and price effective fuel drain provider in Staplehay or Somerset. Ok, we are the people for you!

Our Areas of Experience :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will often trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Staplehay (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the common issues that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
