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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Essex we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
