Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances very easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
