Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Argyll and Bute we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be totally wet and useless.
