AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout East Sussex we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in East Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Cross in Hand (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They can also handle the typical problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
