Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Clatworthy (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also deal with any of the standard issues which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
