AdBlue In your Fuel

In Bristol we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Bristol to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Clifton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Bristol Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
