AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't crank the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
