AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never turn over the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Holmside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the usual issues that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Holmside - Holmside Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect afternoon cycling on the weekend and felt contented with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young family on vacation in Holmside. They conked out after filling petrol into their Ford, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I heard to the gal telling off her partner for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this occurs regularly in County Durham and that it is nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Poor lad. In any case, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would personally never live it down!
