AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not knowing how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And of course be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations rather easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Stoford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also deal with the typical troubles that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Stoford - Stoford Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had broken down off a street in Stoford. His Audi motor had ceased operating and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got virtually no sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
