This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Devon we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely don't start up the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the car you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Devon to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.
