Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Brent we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course never crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
