Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases pretty expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.
