AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel may produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Benter (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the usual troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
