AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cumbria we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not understanding how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Cumbria to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Ambleside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Cumbria Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They can also fix any of the common problems which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Ambleside - Ambleside Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a great afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I set out to aid a young couple away in Ambleside. They had stopped after inserting diesel into their Peugeot, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation goes on all the time in Cumbria and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would never ever live it down!
