We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Nottinghamshire we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can potentially produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Nottinghamshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Elkesley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Nottinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will fix the most common issues which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
