AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations quite expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
