Our Areas of Expertise :

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bedfordshire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not knowing how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.
