AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hampshire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Hampshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Fuel Removal Alton - Alton Fuel Drain

I had a perfect day cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I was en route to aid a new family who were on vacation in Alton. They stopped after putting diesel into their Smart, and the car was close to half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on constantly in Hampshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, even so he still had an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I shouted bon voyage and considered what my missus would ask me if I made the same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
