We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical skills and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains
