Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Provide:

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Redbridge we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not understanding how to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances quite easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Redbridge to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.
