AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not knowing the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very simply.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.
