It was after 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Keynsham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo lease car. The poor thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. Another job in Somerset done well in my mind!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Keynsham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the usual issues which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
