Other Services
We also give other services apart from fixing the problem of incorrect fuel
We also provide other services to our customers after solving the problem of wrong fuel, such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Such contaminated fuels have to be disposed of by a professional and not by just anyone since they can degrade the environment and even pollute local water supplies. We are also experts in this industry and are certified by the Environment Agency that we have the equipment to utilize in getting rid of it, both properly and legally.
We give this as a service in itself to both business and private customers. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks as well as a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can reach them. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and get rid of it safely and securely to the right regulations.
Contamination with Water and AdBlue
If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. Symptoms mentioned above for an engine with the incorrect fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be affected. But with water contamination, it should be changed.
You can also observe the same signs if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more harm than good. That's why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by somebody who knows nothing of AdBlue, the result would be not good for the engine.
We extend our service to you whatever it maybe: whether it is an AdBlue problem or fuel contaminated with water. By using the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the issue of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road.
