Our Fields of Expertise:

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely never turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations quite quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel.
