AdBlue In Diesel

All around Cumbria we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases quite easily.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

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

Fuel Removal Barrow-in-Furness - Barrow-in-Furness Wrong Fuel Assist

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing during my holiday and felt satisfied the following working day as I set out to help a new family who were holidaying in Barrow-in-Furness. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their Skoda, and they were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass frequently in Cumbria and that it's really absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
