AdBlue Contamination

In Cambridgeshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.
