AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kent we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may well trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Shelvingford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle the most common problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Shelvingford - Shelvingford Fuel Drain

Last week a driver contacted us when his Porsche died in the middle of a road in Shelvingford. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got as far as the road before being forced to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, arrived with him in about a quarter hour. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Many kudos to you for your fast response, and in particular at 2 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
