This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely never turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Way Wick (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will take care of any of the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Way Wick - Way Wick Wrong Fuel Doctor

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt pleased the next morning as I set out to aid a young family who were holidaying in Way Wick. They had pulled over after adding petrol into their Citroen, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I listened to the woman berating her spouse for being so daft. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass all the time in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd never ever live it down!
