Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Derbyshire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel.

Wrong Fuel Drain Lee Head - Lee Head Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a terrific evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling contented the following working day as I set out to aid a young family who were holidaying in Lee Head. They had conked out after inserting petrol in their Dacia, and were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Derbyshire and that it is nothing to fret about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing. Poor guy. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and considered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would personally never live it down!
