Tank filled with incorrect fuel - Diesel engine filled with petrol fuel is harmful and should be given consideration straight away.

Not only that, starting the engine back is nearly impossible once you have turned it off.

Water contamination of your engine - This can rev up your engine and make it thrust or stutter while you accelerate. And even worse, it leads to early rusting of your fuel system. This happens quite a lot with the boats. It's mainly because people typically make use of water cans to fuel the boats without draining them properly. The only solution is to drain clean your fuel tank. That's what we can do for you and can even offer replacement filters.

Fuel Tank with AdBlue - This contaminant can be added by mistake or intentionally. Vehicle owners don't have enough understanding about AdBlue. That's exactly why they are in this problem now. Contrary to what many have stated that it is an additive, the reality is AdBlue is a liquid that helps minimizethe emission of dangerous smoke in your exhaust and this should have a separate tank. More motorists are falling foul of AdBlue contamination every day, and it's our responsibility to fix it for you.

Tank with red diesel - This kind of fuel may be distributed in a limited number of garage outlets. Still, contamination may find its way to your tank. You could fill your tank unintentionally utilizing jerry cans filled up with red diesel. You are maybe not focused on what you are doing or distracted when this happened. Still, don?t fret; we know what to do with it.

Old Fuel - As time passes by and your vehicle is idle for a while, the quality of your fuel degrades. This occurs if the car or truck is not driven and has been on standby for a long period of time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. The engine may start and run but there will be irregularities you'll notice. Emptying out the old fuel is a service we are more than capable of doing.
