Our Fields of Expertise:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not start up the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Torre (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the usual issues which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
