AdBlue In Diesel

All over East Sussex we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly don't start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in East Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.
