AdBlue In Diesel

All around Enfield we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Enfield to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Arnos Grove (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Enfield Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the normal issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
