AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Wiltshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Thornhill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the usual issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Thornhill - Thornhill Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a great day golfing on my holiday and was feeling pleased the next working day as I was on the way to aid a new family who were on vacation in Thornhill. They had broken down after inserting diesel into their BMW, and the car was approximately an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady telling her man off for being so daft. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation happens all the time in Wiltshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still got an earful by his missus. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and considered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would never live it down!
