Boat Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Sussex we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Langley Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Langley Green

I'd had a fantastic evening hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I headed out to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Langley Green. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their old Cadillac XLR-V, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled as I listened to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place constantly in West Sussex and that it's nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
