Provided Services: Our Specialties:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.
