AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Any time you find yourself in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will often trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases quite expediently.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Old Sodbury (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to handle any of the normal problems which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
