AdBlue In Your Diesel

In East Sussex we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely don't start the car - not even to move it to a parking place. If you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in East Sussex to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Winchelsea (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive East Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Winchelsea - Winchelsea Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had conked out just near a street in Winchelsea. His Volkswagen motor had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
