Our Areas of Expertise:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Waltham Forest we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.
