AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
