Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Rutland we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances very easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Rutland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.
