Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not knowing how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely do not turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases quite quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Winterhay Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will be able to fix the usual problems that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Winterhay Green - Winterhay Green Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a terrific afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I was en route to help a new family who were holidaying in Winterhay Green. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Skoda, and they were around an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this happens on daily basis in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted farewell and pondered on what my missus would tell me if ever I made the same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
