Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Cumbria we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely do not crank the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases rather expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Cumbria to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it.

A man called us from Longtown to say he unfortunately piped the wrong fuel in to his diesel Vauxhall. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!"
