Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:
Below are the top services we provide to our customers.
AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Merseyside we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.
Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.
If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases pretty expediently.
Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Merseyside to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.
Out of Fuel Service
Out of fuel in Houghwood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Merseyside Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to deal with the common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
