AdBlue In your Fuel

In Harrow we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely do not start the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Harrow to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Petrol in Diesel Stanmore - Stanmore Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from Stanmore to state that he had foolishly piped unleaded in to his diesel Kia. "Shocking! I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car!" It took our engineer roughly fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the car. He completely purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the task professionally completed.
