AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Kent to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car Horsalls, Kent

Wrong Fuel Drain Horsalls - Horsalls Petrol in Diesel

I had a fantastic day golfing during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I was en route to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Horsalls. They had broken down after filling diesel in their Peugeot, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl chastising her spouse for actually being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this problem takes place continuously in Kent and that it's in reality nothing to be concerned about, and yet he all the same got an earful by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
