Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not knowing the way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Bleadon (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will handle the standard troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
