AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases fairly swiftly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
