AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cheshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Cheshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bickley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They can also take care of any of the common issues that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Bickley - Bickley Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman contacted us from his house on a road in Bickley. He exclaimed, "My car (a Porsche) is not starting and is producing very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
