Our Areas of Competency :

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel Drain Coleford - Coleford Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a fantastic evening hiking during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Coleford. They'd broken down after adding petrol in their Renault, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her husband off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation happens continuously in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the very same error... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
