The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over East Sussex we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
