AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Worcestershire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
