This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Powys we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Powys for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

We are able to come to refill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
