AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Dorset we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Hogstock (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They will take care of the usual troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hogstock - Hogstock Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new couple who were away in Hogstock. They'd stopped after adding petrol in their Citroen, and they were around an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass constantly in Dorset and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, but he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I did the same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
