AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously never start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances very easily.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
