AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Sussex we are identifying progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And of course do not start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in West Sussex to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Chichester (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
