AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

We are able to help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car. They will take care of the normal troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
