These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't switch on the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered 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 reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.
