This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never crank the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Compton Dundon (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.

They will be able to deal with any of the common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Compton Dundon - Compton Dundon Petrol in Diesel

I had a fantastic day golfing during my off day and felt satisfied the next morning as I was on the way to aid a new family who were on holiday in Compton Dundon. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their Honda, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and laughed as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this situation comes to pass all the time in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted farewell and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
