AdBlue In Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never start the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will often cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
