AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

We will help to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.

They will be able to take care of the normal issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Pitcot - Pitcot Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a wonderful day fishing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next day as I set out to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Pitcot. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the gal berating her man for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to stress about, but he yet still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove away I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
