Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Devon we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Devon to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.
