Our Areas of Competence :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course don't switch on the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances quite easily.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Dowlish Ford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car. They will be able to handle any of the most common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
