Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course don't start up the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Langford Green, Somerset

Wrong Fuel Doctor Langford Green - Langford Green Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a terrific afternoon hiking during my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I was on the way to help a young family holidaying in Langford Green. They'd broken down after inserting petrol into their MINI, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing to stress about, even so he all the same got an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I shouted farewell and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
