AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Warwickshire we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly never switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
