Our Areas of Expertise:

Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely do not crank the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Petrol in Diesel Lydney - Lydney Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon hiking on the weekend and felt contented with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a new family who were vacationing in Lydney. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Smart, and were around half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove off I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
