Our Fields of Expertise:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Hertfordshire we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And of course take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Hertfordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.
