AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very simply.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Icelton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the most common issues which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Icelton - Icelton Wrong Fuel Drain

A person phoned us from his home on a close in Icelton. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Jaguar) is not running and is creating very bad sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said he would be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
