Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely don't crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases rather quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Combe Down (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They will deal with the typical problems which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Down below are comments and cases of wrong fuel removal we have carried out in Combe Down:

I'm not actually very inclined to carrying out work weekends, and the other day was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a magnificent Sunday roast made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his Skoda. He was somewhere in Combe Down so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other stuff and did not perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on harm by driving it?" I revealed truth be told there should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another contented customer could continue their journey without difficulty. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what makes working on weekends in Somerset just a tiny bit easier for me!

Petrol in Diesel Combe Down - Combe Down Wrong Fuel

A customer from Combe Down with her kids in her diesel Chevrolet had put £42 of petrol at the Co Op station. She called us crying and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all would be ok and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible upset but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the kids in the back."

Fuel Removal Combe Down - Combe Down Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Combe Down. They'd conked out after inserting diesel in their Chevrolet, and they were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her man off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he yet still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would do to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would never live it down!
