Our Areas of Expertise:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Greater Manchester we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people not knowing how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can easily trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
