Services We Give:
Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.
AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Kent we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.
So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to start the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.
Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
