We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not understanding how to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
