Rapid Fuel Rescue: mobile fuel draining in the South West of England

Rapid Fuel Rescue is a British company dedicated to mobile fuel draining and the recovery of vehicles that have been filled with the wrong fuel. It operates 24 hours a day, every day, and assists both drivers who have already started the engine and those who notice the mistake before starting up. It is based in Taunton and its service area extends along the M5 corridor and throughout the South West of England.

The company presents itself as an alternative to recovery: instead of taking the vehicle to a garage, it sends a mobile team that drains the incorrect fuel and leaves the car ready to drive again. The website stresses that vehicle recovery is not always necessary and that the service aims to resolve the issue in the shortest possible time.

Misfuelling correction services

The company's catalogue is organised around the different types of fuel contamination it handles:

• Petrol in diesel: draining the tank when petrol has been put into a diesel vehicle.
• Diesel in petrol: removing diesel that has been mistakenly put into a petrol engine.
• AdBlue: correcting tanks into which AdBlue has been poured by mistake.
• AdBlue contamination: treating cases where AdBlue has contaminated the fuel system.
• Water in fuel: draining service when the tank contains water.
• Fuel collection: removal of the fuel extracted during the service.

Coverage area

The company operates from Taunton and covers the M5 corridor and the whole of the South West of England. Among the areas it specifically mentions are Exeter, Bristol, Devon and Somerset, as well as other towns in the region. The company itself sums up its service area with the phrase "South West England".

Team, training and service standards

Rapid Fuel Rescue states that its technicians are SPA trained and prepared for misfuelling scenarios, and that they use equipment the company describes as state of the art for treating fuel and AdBlue contamination. The firm declares that it is fully insured, which it presents as a guarantee for the customer, and states that its processes are designed to reduce environmental impact. Customer service is described as friendly and professional.

The service is offered at any time, day or night, with the aim of getting the user back on the road as soon as possible. The company places its activity in the context of a frequent occurrence: according to the figures it cites, every day in the UK more than 400 people misfuel their vehicles.
