AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Berkshire we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Thatcham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the typical problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

I was so bothered about my mistake that I was actually in tears. However I didn't need to worry seeing as you were brilliant in dealing with the problem."
