AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Essex for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

We're able to help to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Clifftown - Clifftown Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon fishing on my day off and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I set off to help a young couple holidaying in Clifftown. They'd stopped after adding petrol in their Smart, and the car was around an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I listened to the lady berating her man for turning out to be so silly. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this situation takes place frequently in Essex and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still had his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyway, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
