AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cambridgeshire we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.
