AdBlue In Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course never start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Westbury-on-Severn (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home.
