AdBlue In Diesel

All over Bedfordshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases very expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Chalton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to deal with the typical troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
