AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly don't crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Longridge End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel vehicle and got as far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was still early in the day and our engineer, who lives nearby, reached him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle.
