AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container lying in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.
