Our Areas of Experience :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.
