Our Areas of Expertise :

Assisting you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Richmond upon Thames we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
