AdBlue In Diesel

All over Herefordshire we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Fuel Rescue Upcott - Upcott Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out just off a street in Upcott. His SEAT motor had stopped operating and he had no idea what was awry until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero sleep the day before and that must have been the reason why.
