Our Areas of Expertise:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly don't start up the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.
