AdBlue In your Fuel

All over East Renfrewshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Eaglesham, East Renfrewshire

Wrong Fuel Doctor Eaglesham - Eaglesham Vehicle Misfuel

I had a wonderful evening cycling on my day off and felt pleased the following day as I set off to help a new family away in Eaglesham. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their Citroen, and they were about half an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed as I listened to the wife telling off her hubby for being so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in East Renfrewshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still got an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
