AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Herefordshire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely do not start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
