Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly don't start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my off day and felt delighted the next working day as I set off to assist a new couple on vacation in Alvington.

I emerged at their location and smiled as I heard to the girl telling her husband off for being so daft. "How could you even be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this goes on on daily basis in Somerset and that it is nothing to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his better half. Poor lad. Anyways, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel.
