Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will likely result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lydeard St Lawrence - Lydeard St Lawrence Fuel Rescue

I had a fantastic day hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set off to help a young family on holiday in Lydeard St Lawrence. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Jaguar, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady berating her man for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this situation occurs all the time in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would tell me if ever I made the same mistake... I would never live it down!
