Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Leicestershire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Leicestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
