Our Fields of Expertise:

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can easily produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.
