Our Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not understanding how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations quite quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in North Petherton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the normal problems that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel North Petherton - North Petherton Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a great afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt delighted the next working day as I set out to assist a young family on holiday in North Petherton. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their Volkswagen, and the car was approximately an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I listened to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Somerset and that it's in reality nothing to fret about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved so long and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
