Our Areas of Experience :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hale (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix the usual issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A gentleman had conked out off a street in Hale. His MG car had ceased operating and he had no idea what was the problem until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle.
