AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Headlam (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the typical issues that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Headlam - Headlam Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a wonderful day cycling during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a new family who were on vacation in Headlam. They had conked out after inserting petrol into their Dacia, and the car was approximately half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal telling her partner off for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem takes place on daily basis in County Durham and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he still had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky lad. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Headlam

Underneath are feedback and instances of contaminated fuel removal we've performed in Headlam:

Now I am not excessively enthusiastic about carrying out work weekends, and a week ago was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a superb roast made for me by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow after he had put the incorrect fuel in his Ford. He was situated in Headlam therefore it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I pulled up at the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my mind on other things and did not perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on some harm by starting it?" I said truth be told there should not be harm and that also I would drain the fuel right away. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and so another pleased motorist was able to continue their journey without the need for difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make earning a living on Sundays in County Durham that little bit less painful for me personally!

Petrol in Diesel Headlam - Headlam Fuel Rescue

A driver from Headlam with a full car of little ones in her diesel Hyundai had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She called us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that everything should be okay and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the kids in the back."

Fuel Rescue Headlam - Headlam Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple of days ago a motorist called us when his Citroen broke down in the middle of a street in Headlam. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel car and drove so far as the street before having to stop. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who lives locally, reached him in about a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
