This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Derbyshire we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not turn over the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
