AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Derbyshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being totally sure how 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 right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances very easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Derbyshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.
