Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Leighton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also handle the common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Fuel Rescue Leighton - Leighton Fuel Removal

I'd had a perfect afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I headed out to aid a young couple who were holidaying in Leighton. They conked out after filling diesel into their MINI, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the gal chastising her man for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on continuously in Somerset and that it's really absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing. Poor guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Irrespective of if it's diesel in petrol or petrol in diesel we can help put it right. Ourexperts are ready to address any queries and get a technician with you in a flash to correct your vehicle. Call right now:


Recent Fuel Drains in Leighton

Tales from our own Leighton employees:

A teen who had only just got his licence had wrong fuelled his MINI by putting petrol in his diesel car at the petrol station near Leighton. He said, "This is just the third time I have filled up my car since I got it and I have no idea of what to do." He was also scared since his dad had just recently purchased him the car. He came across us on the net and so called it right away, scared about what he needed to do. Our man on the telephones explained to him that we could be on scene within forty five minutes and to not touch his car while waiting. We performed the fuel drain on his car and he mentioned how amazed he was that it was handled so quickly and without any problem at all.

Wrong Fuel Leighton - Leighton Fuel Removal

A customer from Leighton with a full car of kids in her diesel Volkswagen had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Texaco station. She phoned us crying and genuinely upset as she had never wrong fuelled and didn't know what might happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that the car would be fine and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the children on board."

Wrong Fuel Leighton - Leighton Petrol in Diesel

Last week a driver contacted us when his Land Rover stopped working in the middle of a street in Leighton. He had by accident put the wrong fuel in his diesel motor and got to the street before being forced to halt. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
