Our Areas of Experience :

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Northumberland we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.
