AdBlue In Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Vehicle Misfuel Ablington - Ablington Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I set out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Ablington. They'd pulled over after putting diesel into their Renault, and they were around half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I listened to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and considered what my missus would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
