Our Areas of Competency :

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Herefordshire we have seen an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course do not start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
