AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not knowing the way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases very easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hazeley Heath (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to fix the common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
