AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Doctor South Alkham - South Alkham Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a young family who were on holiday in South Alkham. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their Porsche, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and laughed as I listened to the woman chastising her man for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass constantly in Kent and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
