The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Staffordshire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
