AdBlue In Diesel

In Bromley we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is going to produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Bromley for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Petts Wood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Bromley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to deal with the standard troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
