AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Sparkford (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They are also able to handle the standard issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Sparkford - Sparkford Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a wonderful day hiking during the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new family on vacation in Sparkford. They had broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I heard to the girl chastising her man for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass quite frequently in Somerset and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good bye and considered what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
