Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Barking and Dagenham we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged 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 will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
