AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Dorset we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Dorset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Crooked Withies (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Dorset Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle if 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 (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also take care of any of the common problems which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
