Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Sussex we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
