AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Powys we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Powys for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Machynlleth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Powys Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
