Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely don't start the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Holly Brook (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also handle the most common issues which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Holly Brook - Holly Brook Petrol in Diesel

A customer called us from his house on a street in Holly Brook. He said, "My vehicle (a BMW) is not starting up and is creating awful noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
