These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously never start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.
