AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Galhampton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the normal issues that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Galhampton - Galhampton Fuel Rescue

A customer had conked out just near a road in Galhampton. His MG car had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was the problem right up until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that must have been the reason why.
