AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kingston upon Thames we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Kingston upon Thames to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Kingston Upon Thames (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kingston upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill the car. They will take care of any of the standard issues which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A customer contacted us from his home on a road in Kingston Upon Thames. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Skoda) is not starting and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
