Services We Offer:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Hastings (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also fix any of the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
