We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
