AdBlue In Diesel

All over Devon we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may well contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Devon to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Bovey Tracey (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They can also handle the normal problems that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
