AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely don't turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Hampshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.
