AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Dorset we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely don't switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Fuel Drain Askerswell - Askerswell Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a fantastic day hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Askerswell. They'd stopped after inserting petrol in their Suzuki, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed as I heard to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing happens all the time in Dorset and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and considered what my missus would say to me if I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
