We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding the way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't crank the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations quite swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hastings (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up the car. They will be able to take care of the common problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
