AdBlue In Diesel

All around Caerphilly we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Caerphilly to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Abertridwr (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Caerphilly Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.

They will handle any of the common issues which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Abertridwr - Abertridwr Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a great day fishing during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I was on the way to aid a new couple vacationing in Abertridwr. They'd conked out after adding petrol in their Lexus, and were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady chastising her partner for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Caerphilly and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my wife would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!
