This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Gloucestershire we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely never turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances quite easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.
