AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Suffolk we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Preston St Mary (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the usual issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A customer had broken down just off a street in Preston St Mary. His Skoda engine had stopped working and he had no clue what was wrong until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
