Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Herefordshire we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not understanding the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly easily.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
