Our Areas of Competency :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will often produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Porlock (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They will fix the normal troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Porlock - Porlock Fuel Drain

Last friday a customer contacted us right after his Lexus stopped in the middle of a road in Porlock. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel car and drove to the road before needing to stop. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides not far away, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
