Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Langport (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the usual issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Langport - Langport Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon cycling on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were on vacation in Langport. They'd broken down after filling petrol in their SEAT, and were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I heard to the wife telling off her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation occurs everyday in Somerset and that it's nothing to worry about, however he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
