Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Staffordshire we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can easily bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather quickly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
