AdBlue Contamination

In Derbyshire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely never start up the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the car you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises 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 legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hales Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will fix the common issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hales Green - Hales Green Wrong Fuel

Last week a young man contacted us when his Volkswagen ground to a halt along a road in Hales Green. He had accidentally put the incorrect fuel in his diesel vehicle and got so far as the road before being forced to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who resides nearby, got to him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
