AdBlue In your Fuel

In Southwark we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously never switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Southwark to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Nunhead (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Southwark Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the usual troubles which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Nunhead - Nunhead Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a terrific evening fishing on my off day and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Nunhead. They had broken down after putting diesel in their Vauxhall, and they were around an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass constantly in Southwark and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved goodbye and considered what my wife would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
