This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not understanding how to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations very easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Scrapton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical troubles which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Scrapton - Scrapton Petrol in Diesel

I had a fantastic afternoon fishing on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Scrapton. They had broken down after filling petrol in their Mazda, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her hubby for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this goes on on daily basis in Somerset and that it's nothing to be anxious about, however he still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. At any rate, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted farewell and pondered on what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
