Our Areas of Competency :

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations rather easily.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Horsey (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They will take care of the typical problems that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Horsey - Horsey Fuel Drain

A customer phoned us from his house on a street in Horsey. He said, "My car (a MINI) is not running and is making dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
