AdBlue In Diesel

All over Highland we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel may well result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Highland to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Thurso (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Highland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to fix any of the typical troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
