AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Merseyside we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old 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 bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Merseyside to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Portico (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Merseyside Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will take care of any of the most common problems that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Portico - Portico Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a wonderful evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a young family holidaying in Portico. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their Kia, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I listened to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this problem goes on frequently in Merseyside and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
