AdBlue In your Fuel

In Berkshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car.

It was really in the early hours of the day and our technician, who resides nearby, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Genuine kudos to you for your immediate response, particularly at 5 a.m., I am grateful for it."
