AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container sitting in the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

We're able to come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the typical problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
