Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cumbria we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing how to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Cumbria to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel Drain Barrow-in-Furness - Barrow-in-Furness Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a perfect afternoon cycling on my off day and felt pleased the next morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were on vacation in Barrow-in-Furness. They'd broken down after adding diesel in their Mercedes, and they were around an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I heard to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens on daily basis in Cumbria and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he yet still got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
