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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In case you did start the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Clewer (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will handle any of the usual problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
