Services Our Company Offers:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
