AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Essex we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Essex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Panfield (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to fix any of the standard issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
