Our Areas of Expertise:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Surrey we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not being aware of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously do not start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is likely to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
