AdBlue Contamination

All over Cumbria we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
