AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Bedfordshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Bedfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Little Barford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Bedfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to fix the standard problems which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Little Barford - Little Barford Fuel Drain

I'd had a wonderful day hiking during the weekend and felt pleased the next day as I was on the way to assist a new couple on holiday in Little Barford. They conked out after inserting petrol in their Mitsubishi, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on constantly in Bedfordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!
