Our Fields of Expertise:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Devon we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course do not start the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Devon to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Barnstaple (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
