Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Handy Cross (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the usual problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Handy Cross - Handy Cross Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a great afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I was en route to aid a young family who were holidaying in Handy Cross. They'd broken down after inserting diesel in their Mitsubishi, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the same error... I'd never ever live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Handy Cross

Reports from our own Handy Cross personnel:

We got a phone call from a gentleman whose Vauxhall had stopped on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I confused the pumps and pumped the wrong fuel in my car in error. These guys arrived and sorted out the problem after my vehicle died." We drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely afterwards and the motorist could go on with his deliveries.

Wrong Fuel Handy Cross - Handy Cross Vehicle Misfuel

This really was an unsociable time to be up. It was close to dawn and noone was about. It was quite dead so far, and me and Ray were relaxing reading through several old newspapers. That was a rare calm time in Somerset. It was in fact so relaxing that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end said: "I have only just finished my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my diesel Hyundai by mistake". We told him to tell us where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Handy Cross under an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the car and he thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. While we were going back home we found two young women on the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel Drain Handy Cross - Handy Cross Fuel Rescue

A customer had broken down just near a street in Handy Cross. His Peugeot engine had ceased operating and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
