This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly do not start up the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Vehicle Misfuel Radlet - Radlet Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a wonderful day golfing during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Radlet. They had broken down after inserting diesel in their BMW, and the car was close to half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this happens everyday in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would never ever hear the end of it!
