Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Leicestershire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
