AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol may cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Priddy (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the usual issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Priddy - Priddy Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman phoned us from Priddy saying he unfortunately pumped the wrong fuel into his diesel SEAT. "I can't believe it! How could I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took our engineer about fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He thoroughly flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the car. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the work professionally completed.
