AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Dorset we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Dorset to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

We will help to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to take care of the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
