Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases rather quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bourne (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
