AdBlue In Diesel

All around Derbyshire we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely never start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Stanton Gate (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Derbyshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car. They will be able to handle the most common problems that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
