AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Frogmore (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up the car. They will deal with any of the normal issues which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
