AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Bedfordshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. If you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
