Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Gloucestershire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.
