Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not understanding how to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never crank the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
