Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations very swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
