Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
