Services Our Company Offers:

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Woodcombe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the typical troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Woodcombe - Woodcombe Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a great day cycling during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a young family vacationing in Woodcombe. They broken down after filling petrol in their MG, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal berating her man for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this happens regularly in Somerset and that it's nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still got an earful. Poor lad. Anyways, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and wondered what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
