AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not being aware of how to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely take care not to switch on the car - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.
