Services We Deliver:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Rutland we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel may well result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
