Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
