AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.
