Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bedfordshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations very expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
