Our Areas of Competency :

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Argyll and Bute we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations very simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
