Motorboat Fuel Drains
If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.
AdBlue Contamination
All over West Sussex we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.
So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?
Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And of course never start the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.
