AdBlue In Diesel

All over Berkshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Berkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

We will get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle.

Vehicle Misfuel Hunts Green - Hunts Green Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a wonderful day fishing on the weekend and felt satisfied the following morning as I was on the way to help a young family who were vacationing in Hunts Green. They'd stopped after putting petrol in their Kia, and were close to half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you actually be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass constantly in Berkshire and that it is nothing to worry about, even so he still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
