This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Staffordshire we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather simply.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
