AdBlue In Diesel

All around Essex we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Take note that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Essex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Great Oakley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Essex Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car. They will handle the most common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
