Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously never start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. If you have started the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Wedmore (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also fix the normal problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Wedmore - Wedmore Petrol in Diesel

A man phoned us from Wedmore to state that he unfortunately piped unleaded in to his diesel Suzuki. "I can't believe it! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took the engineer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He carefully purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer prices to have the work professionally done.
