This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank may well produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Westhay (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the most common problems that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Westhay - Westhay Wrong Fuel Doctor

A while back a motorist telephoned us because his Mazda stopped in the middle of a street in Westhay. He had by accident put unleaded in the diesel motor and drove as far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was still in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your timely response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."
