We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue can be devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course don't start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Rutland to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.
