AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Shortwood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They can also deal with any of the common issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Shortwood - Shortwood Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had broken down off a street in Shortwood. His Kia engine had stopped running and he'd no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had got very little rest the evening before and that must have been why.
