Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly don't start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it for you.
