AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Buckinghamshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not knowing how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course do not start the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty simply.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Buckland (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Buckland - Buckland Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking on the weekend and felt pleased the following working day as I headed out to assist a new couple holidaying in Buckland. They conked out after inserting petrol into their Citroen, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smiled as I listened to the gal berating her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this problem comes to pass on a regular basis in Buckinghamshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, but he yet still had an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyways, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I shouted so long and wondered what my missus would ask me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
