Services We Deliver:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Buckinghamshire we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out.
