This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases quite quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Run out of fuel in Upton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your vehicle.

Vehicle Misfuel Upton - Upton Fuel Drain

I'd had a terrific day fishing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I was on the way to aid a new family who were on holiday in Upton. They'd pulled over after adding diesel into their Honda, and they were around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally never live it down!
