AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over East Sussex we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not being totally sure how to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in East Sussex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hurst Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
