AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hampshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
