These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northamptonshire we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
