These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over South Lanarkshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very swiftly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
