Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Norfolk we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely don't start up the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations rather easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
