AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Wintershill - Wintershill Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had conked out just off a street in Wintershill. His Mercedes motor had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was faulty until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
