AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly never start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Hampshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Shortheath (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Hampshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the usual problems that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Shortheath - Shortheath Vehicle Misfuel

A customer phoned us from his house on a close in Shortheath. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not starting up and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
