Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
