These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Langport (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.

They can also take care of any of the usual issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Langport - Langport Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect afternoon golfing during my off day and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Langport. They had stopped after adding petrol into their Lexus, and they were approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation occurs everyday in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted good bye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
