Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly never crank the car - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations pretty expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Horton Cross (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the most common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
