Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
