AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And of course be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Derbyshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able 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 a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hognaston (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Derbyshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car. They can also handle any of the common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Hognaston - Hognaston Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman contacted us from his house on a road in Hognaston. He pronounced, "My car (a Lexus) is not starting up and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
