It was after 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were sitting there going over the recent footy results, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Chard and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota rental in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was only a few miles from the office, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less worried. Another job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in case you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue tends to be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course do not crank the car - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases rather easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty 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 on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered 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 an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Chard (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up the car. They will be able to deal with the common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
