Our Fields of Expertise:

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Ceredigion we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Ceredigion to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.
