AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Linkhill - Linkhill Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a great evening fishing during the weekend and felt satisfied the following morning as I set out to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Linkhill. They had stopped after adding petrol into their MINI, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl chastising her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this happens quite frequently in Kent and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, however he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky guy. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
