AdBlue In Diesel

In Buckinghamshire we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely don't start the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Buckinghamshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Winslow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will deal with the normal troubles that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Winslow - Winslow Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a wonderful evening cycling during my holiday and felt satisfied the next day as I headed out to help a new couple vacationing in Winslow. They'd broken down after filling petrol into their Kia, and were about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place constantly in Buckinghamshire and that it's actually nothing to get worried about, but he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!
