We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In West Sussex we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in West Sussex for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.
