AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around County Durham we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course never turn over the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel.
