We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Derbyshire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never turn over the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases rather easily.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Derbyshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages.
