AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Croydon we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can easily cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations quite swiftly.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
