Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
