AdBlue In Diesel

All around Essex we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not knowing how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And of course do not start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Essex to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in South Benfleet (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Essex Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will take care of the usual issues which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
