Services We Offer:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations rather easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
