AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Devon we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly never crank the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly easily.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Devon to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Sidmouth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Devon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car. They will take care of any of the typical problems which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
