Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.

Fuel Rescue East Horrington - East Horrington Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a terrific evening cycling on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple who were on holiday in East Horrington. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Mitsubishi, and they were close to half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation goes on constantly in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
