Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Essex we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
