Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can certainly bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.
