AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hertfordshire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Petrol in Diesel Albury End - Albury End Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a wonderful evening hiking on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a young couple vacationing in Albury End. They had broken down after adding petrol into their MINI, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's truly nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still got an earful. Poor guy. Anyways, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
