Services We Offer:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Sutton we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Woodcote Green - Woodcote Green Wrong Fuel

I had a wonderful day cycling during the weekend and felt contented the next working day as I headed out to assist a young family on vacation in Woodcote Green. They had conked out after filling petrol into their Smart, and the car was close to half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in Sutton and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he yet still had an earful by his missus. Unlucky lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
