AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly never switch on the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Draycott (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They can also handle any of the usual troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Draycott - Draycott Petrol in Diesel

A guy had broken down just near a street in Draycott. His Skoda car had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was the problem till he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
