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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not knowing how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in St Catherine (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car. They can also fix the usual troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car St Catherine - St Catherine Petrol in Diesel

I had a wonderful evening golfing on my afternoon off and felt pleased the following working day as I set out to assist a new couple vacationing in St Catherine. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their Mitsubishi, and were around half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I heard to the wife telling off her partner for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation goes on continuously in Somerset and that it's truly nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor boy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and wondered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
