AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly never start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Leysdown-on-Sea (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They are also able to deal with any of the common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Leysdown-on-Sea - Leysdown-on-Sea Wrong Fuel

I had enjoyed a fantastic day fishing on my off day and felt satisfied the following day as I was en route to help a new couple who were away in Leysdown-on-Sea. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Mitsubishi, and were about an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her man off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in Kent and that it's really nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
