Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Essex we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
