AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find yourself in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Branksome - Branksome Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a great afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple who were away in Branksome. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their Mitsubishi, and they were close to an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady berating her husband for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this situation happens continuously in County Durham and that it's really nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
