Our Areas of Experience :

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely never turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Alstone (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They can also take care of the usual issues which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Alstone - Alstone Fuel Removal

I had a terrific evening cycling during my day off and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young family on vacation in Alstone. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol in their BMW, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens all the time in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he all the same got his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
