Our Fields of Expertise:

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Westminster we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
