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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Nottinghamshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations very easily.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it.

We will help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.
