AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely don't start the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases very easily.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

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