It was after five pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the golf rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Withy Mills and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Withy Mills (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car. They can also fix any of the usual issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Withy Mills - Withy Mills Vehicle Misfuel

A man had conked out off a road in Withy Mills. His Renault motor had stopped operating and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got very little sleep the day before and that must have been why.
