Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Norfolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.
