This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Berkshire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
