We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Greater Manchester we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly don't start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
