AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run out of fuel in Weston-sub-Edge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill the car.
