AdBlue Contamination

All around Cheshire we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not knowing the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
