AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in County Durham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.
