Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Hampshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages.
