AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Derbyshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly never start the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Thornhill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the usual problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
