AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course never start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in County Durham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Branksome (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your automobile. They can also deal with the normal troubles which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Branksome - Branksome Wrong Fuel Doctor

A guy had conked out near a road in Branksome. His Hyundai engine had stopped running and he'd no idea what was the problem till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten no sleep the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
