These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Merseyside we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will often trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations rather quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Wrong Fuel Assist Portico - Portico Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a great day cycling on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Portico. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Hyundai, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in Merseyside and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent by his better half. Poor boy. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
