This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Northamptonshire we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations pretty simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Northamptonshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages.
