AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout East Lothian we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations very swiftly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
