Our Fields of Expertise:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Gloucestershire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is 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 does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Have a fuel container at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.
