AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bedfordshire we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can certainly produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
