AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Aislaby - Aislaby Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a fantastic evening cycling during my day off and felt contented with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young family who were away in Aislaby. They conked out after inserting petrol in their Honda, and they were about an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation occurs all the time in County Durham and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!
