Services We Deliver:
Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any connected problems.
AdBlue Contamination
How to proceed if you have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a blend of ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering serious and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.
In the event that you find yourself in this situation don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations rather quickly.
Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
