Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely don't start up the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite quickly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Drayton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the typical troubles which could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drayton - Drayton Fuel Drain

A while back a young man phoned us when his Renault ground to a halt along a street in Drayton. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel car and got so far as the street before having to pull over. It was still early in the morning and our engineer, who lives not far away, got to him in about a quarter hour. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your immediate response, especially at 3 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
