She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle!

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
