AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Durham we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Rescue Wolsingham - Wolsingham Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a great evening fishing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I was on the way to aid a young family who were holidaying in Wolsingham. They pulled over after filling petrol in their Mazda, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled as I heard to the wife telling off her partner for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this problem happens regularly in Durham and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
