AdBlue In your Fuel

In Gloucestershire we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly do not turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted 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 moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shortwood - Shortwood Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a great day hiking during my off day and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I set off to help a new couple who were on holiday in Shortwood. They pulled over after putting petrol into their Audi, and they were about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I heard to the woman berating her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation comes to pass constantly in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing to stress about, nevertheless he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyway, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed so long and considered what my missus would tell me if ever I made the same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!
