Offered Services: Our Specialties:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cumbria we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Have an old fuel container in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Cumbria for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.
