AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Worcestershire we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Worcestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

We're able to get out to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.
