Provided Services:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made from a mix of high-purity urea and deionized water (67.5%).It tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not start up the car - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.
