Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Merton we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is going to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Merton to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.
