Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Timberscombe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
