AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never turn over the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations quite simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Essex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Langford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the standard troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
