AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start up the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel can certainly produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases very expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in Kent for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Minster (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the normal troubles that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Minster - Minster Fuel Rescue

Last friday a motorist called us when his Lexus stopped working on a street in Minster. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get as far as the road before having to pull over. It was in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who stays nearby, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I really appreciate it."
