Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Staffordshire we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Vehicle Misfuel Spath - Spath Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman phoned us from Spath saying he stupidly pumped the wrong fuel into his diesel SEAT. "What a fool! How could I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It took our engineer approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the vehicle. He carefully purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealership rates to get the job properly done.
