We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations very simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Butleigh (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile 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 technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your automobile. They can also fix the standard problems which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Now I am not so excited about carrying out work on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids filled with a wonderful Sunday roast cooked by the wife, and I was en route to deal with a man who filled the wrong fuel in his Skoda. He was situated in Butleigh and so I was with him almost immediately. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank God! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to realise I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any harm through driving it?" I stated that truth be told there probably should not be any kind of problems and that also I would personally get the fuel drained at once for him. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another contented client was able to continue on his ride without bother. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes earning a living on weekends in Somerset a little bit better for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Assist Butleigh - Butleigh Fuel Removal

A motorist living in Butleigh called us shortly after she had managed to get her misfueled automobile to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault and, like many prior to her, assumed that she could just fill her vehicle with diesel and it'd be okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed within one hour whilst she was at work. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you repaired my car."

Vehicle Misfuel Butleigh - Butleigh Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a new family on holiday in Butleigh. They'd pulled over after adding petrol into their Jaguar, and they were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation takes place everyday in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, however he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!
