AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may well produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases very expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run out of fuel in Horsley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill the car.
