AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Minchinhampton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.
