Wrong Fuel in Car Horninghold, Leicestershire

Our Services:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Leicestershire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't crank the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will often result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Leicestershire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.
