AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout County Durham we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not knowing the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in County Durham to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Sockburn (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car. They will take care of any of the common troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Sockburn

Down below are opinions and instances of wrong fuel removal we've performed in Sockburn:

We a few weeks ago had a phone call about a driver who put the wrong fuel in his Mercedes in Sockburn. He had conked out on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the quandary before it stopped working. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it working once again. I was happy because of both your speed and your pricing". As you can imagine we arrived promptly and purged the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived our technician said the motorist was fuming, but was grinning his face off after the fuel drain.

Vehicle Misfuel Sockburn - Sockburn Fuel Removal

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3:30am and noone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and Mark were loafing looking at some old articles. That was a rare peaceful moment in County Durham. It was that calm that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end told me: "I just concluded my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in my Volkswagen in error". I instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was situated and we set off, reaching him in Sockburn not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming out so fast. As we were returning to base we spotted two young ladies at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up to help them change it, to their delight.

Wrong Fuel Sockburn - Sockburn Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had stopped off a road in Sockburn. His MINI engine had ceased working and he'd no idea what was faulty until eventually he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
