AdBlue Contamination

All over County Durham we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously don't start the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in County Durham to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Fuel Rescue New Coundon - New Coundon Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening golfing during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I set out to assist a young couple who were on holiday in New Coundon. They pulled over after putting diesel in their Land Rover, and were close to half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling off her hubby for being so confused. "How could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this situation occurs quite frequently in County Durham and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
