AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in County Durham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Elvet Hill - Elvet Hill Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a fantastic day golfing on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Elvet Hill. They had stopped after inserting diesel in their Peugeot, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I heard to the woman berating her hubby for being so stupid. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place on a regular basis in County Durham and that it's truly absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
