Our Areas of Competency :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Midsomer Norton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will fix the most common troubles which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Midsomer Norton - Midsomer Norton Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a terrific afternoon hiking on my holiday and was feeling delighted the following morning as I was en route to help a young family who were on holiday in Midsomer Norton. They'd pulled over after adding petrol in their Jaguar, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this takes place all the time in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!

This was exactly the night shift. It was about 2am and almost noone was around. It had become rather quiet until now, and Mark and I were relaxing looking through several old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet hour in Somerset. It was indeed so peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist told me: "I finished my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi". We told him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Midsomer Norton not as much as half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said thanks for arriving so quickly. While we were coming back home we found two women on the edge of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. So we got out to help them change it, to their delight.
