These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Drain Compton Bishop - Compton Bishop Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I was en route to aid a young couple holidaying in Compton Bishop. They had stopped after adding diesel in their Skoda, and were around half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smirked as I listened to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation takes place quite frequently in Somerset and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor lad. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved bon voyage and wondered what my missus would say to me if I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
