AdBlue In Diesel

All around Essex we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course don't crank the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances very simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Essex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered 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 some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.
