AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Petrol in Diesel Headlam - Headlam Wrong Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I set off to help a young family holidaying in Headlam. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Hyundai, and the car was about an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens everyday in County Durham and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he still had an earful. Poor boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

Fuel Rescue Headlam - Headlam Fuel Removal

This was exactly what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to 3:30am and nobody was around. It had become fairly quiet thus far, and me and Mark were relaxing perusing a few old papers. This was an uncommon tranquil hour in County Durham. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the instant the telephone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I have concluded my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel Nissan by mistake". I got him to let us know where the car was and we headed out, ending up in Headlam under an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the motor. He said thanks for arriving so rapidly. While we were coming back to the depot we noticed two ladies on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out and helped them change it, much to their elation.
