Our Areas of Competence :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Merseyside we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly never turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is going to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very easily.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Merseyside to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Fuel Drain Kirkby - Kirkby Wrong Fuel Assist

I had appreciated a terrific evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following day as I headed out to help a new family on holiday in Kirkby. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their Smart, and the car was approximately an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this happens regularly in Merseyside and that it's nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got an earful. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
