AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cambridgeshire we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not understanding how to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Whittlesey (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Cambridgeshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the most common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
