This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Berkshire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously don't crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
