AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Sussex we have noticed an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will often bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in West Sussex to take care of removing and disposing of 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 tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.
