AdBlue In Your Diesel

In East Sussex we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not knowing how to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And of course never crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business premises in East Sussex for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Winchelsea (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full East Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the most common problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Winchelsea - Winchelsea Fuel Drain

A man called us from Winchelsea saying he mistakenly piped petrol into his diesel Volvo. "Shocking! I can't believe I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He thoroughly flushed the fuel system and after that put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the work properly done.
