This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers being unsure of how to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
