AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Yorkshire we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.
