Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Somerset we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very quickly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Galhampton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will deal with the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Galhampton - Galhampton Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer rang us from his place on a street in Galhampton. He exclaimed, "My car (a Fiat) is not running and is creating very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us that he would be certain to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
