AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not knowing how to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly take care not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
