AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cheshire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
