Services We Offer:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations quite swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Otterhampton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Otterhampton

Usual incorrect fuel drain examples in Otterhampton:

I'm not actually excessively excited about running on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had just departed the wife and kids following a superb Sunday roast cooked by the missus, and I was off to help a gentleman who had filled the incorrect fuel in his Land Rover. He was somewhere in Otterhampton and so I was there soon. As I drove up at the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on something else and did not ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created any kind of harm by simply driving it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any harm and also that I would personally get the fuel drained quickly. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus another delighted client was able to carry on with their travelling without any subsequent hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Somerset a little bit better in my opinion!

Vehicle Misfuel Otterhampton - Otterhampton Fuel Removal

This really was what we call the night shift. It was close to 2am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing reading through some old papers. It was an unusual calm time in Somerset. It was in fact that tranquil that the instant my mobile inevitably rang I jumped! The voice on the other end stated: "I've only just concluded my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel Volvo". We got him to inform us just where he was located and we headed out, arriving in Otterhampton no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said thanks a lot for getting there so quickly. While we were coming back to the office we found two women on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, to their delight.
