AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Powys we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Powys to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Welshpool (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Powys Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also deal with the most common issues which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Welshpool - Welshpool Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman rang us from his residence on a street in Welshpool. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting up and is making dreadful noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said that he would be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
