Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Buckland Down (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car. They can also handle the usual problems that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A guy had conked out just off a street in Buckland Down. His Mitsubishi motor had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel car.
