AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely never start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
