AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Fife we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Fife for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in St Andrews (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Fife Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the common issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
