AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Sussex we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing how to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly damaged 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. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded 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 gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Wrong Fuel Selmeston - Selmeston Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a perfect day cycling on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the next day as I set off to help a new couple on vacation in Selmeston. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their MG, and they were about half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I listened to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this occurs frequently in East Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!
