Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Derbyshire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
