Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
