Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will often cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
