AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Devon we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Devon to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ivybridge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Devon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also take care of the standard problems that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Ivybridge - Ivybridge Wrong Fuel in Car

A motorist had conked out just off a street in Ivybridge. His Vauxhall car had stopped operating and he had no clue what was awry till he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
