AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car West End - West End Fuel Drain

I had a great afternoon cycling during my off day and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set off to help a young couple on vacation in West End. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their MG, and were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl berating her hubby for being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, however he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted good-bye and considered what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
