Our Areas of Experience :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
