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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely never switch on the motor - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Greenham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the common problems which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
