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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.
