AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run out of fuel in Thorrington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Essex Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the usual troubles which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
