Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Backwell (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle the standard problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Backwell - Backwell Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from his house on a road in Backwell. He explained, "My vehicle (a Mercedes) is not running and is creating terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
