AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not knowing how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Dorset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Verwood (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the usual troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Verwood - Verwood Petrol in Diesel

A customer called us from his house on a street in Verwood. He said, "My car (a Nissan) is not running and is producing awful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
