We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Leicestershire we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not knowing the way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.
