AdBlue Contamination

All around Somerset we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you did start the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hale (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to fix the typical issues that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hale - Hale Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a great afternoon fishing on my day off and felt delighted the next day as I was en route to help a young family who were away in Hale. They'd stopped after adding petrol into their Mercedes, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked as I listened to the wife berating her partner for turning out to be so confused. "How could you even be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this situation takes place quite frequently in Somerset and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would never ever live it down!
