Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Somerset we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Somerset to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in West Harptree (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill the car. They will be able to deal with the standard issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue West Harptree - West Harptree Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a great day cycling during my day off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I was on the way to assist a new family away in West Harptree. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Kia, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her man for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this happens quite frequently in Somerset and that it's nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he still got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

A young person who had only got his licence had misfueled his Jaguar by putting unleaded in the diesel car at the service station near West Harptree. He said, "This is only the third occasion I have put fuel in my car from the time when I bought it and I do not know what to do." He was also anxious as his father had only just purchased him the car. He found us on the net and so called us instantly, afraid about what he should do.

A woman from West Harptree with her youngsters in her diesel Hyundai had put £30 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She called us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her car . We told her that all should be fine and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the kids in the back."
