AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Old Windsor (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They can also take care of any of the standard issues that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Old Windsor - Old Windsor Fuel Drain

A week ago a motorist phoned us soon after his Chevrolet died along a road in Old Windsor. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to stop. It was still early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, got to him in less than twenty minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
