AdBlue In your Fuel

All over South Lanarkshire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in South Lanarkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Drain Lesmahagow - Lesmahagow Fuel Rescue

I'd had a fantastic afternoon cycling during my off day and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set off to aid a new family who were holidaying in Lesmahagow. They'd pulled over after filling diesel into their Renault, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on on daily basis in South Lanarkshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, and yet he still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and thought about what my missus would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
