Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases very simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank at the back of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Stoford (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the normal troubles which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Stoford - Stoford Wrong Fuel in Car

A man rang us from his house on a close in Stoford. He said, "My vehicle (a Smart) is not starting up and is creating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
