AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Brassington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will fix any of the common problems that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
