Offered Services: Our Specialties:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Hertfordshire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
