Our Areas of Expertise :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.
