Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Chilcompton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the normal problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Chilcompton - Chilcompton Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a wonderful day fishing during my holiday and felt cheerful the following morning as I set out to assist a new family holidaying in Chilcompton. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for being so stupid. "How could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this goes on frequently in Somerset and that it's actually nothing at all to stress about, however he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted farewell and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!
