AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will likely produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations rather quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Down Hatherley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will be able to take care of any of the standard problems which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Down Hatherley - Down Hatherley Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a terrific day fishing on my holiday and felt satisfied the following day as I set out to help a young couple vacationing in Down Hatherley. They had pulled over after adding petrol into their Lexus, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this situation happens regularly in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
