AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations quite easily.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix the typical troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge - Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Wrong Fuel

A motorist had stopped just near a street in Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge. His Ford motor had ceased working and he had no idea what was faulty right up until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the night before and that must have been precisely why.
