AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hertfordshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Removal Great Wymondley - Great Wymondley Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a terrific day fishing on the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Great Wymondley. They had broken down after adding petrol in their Porsche, and the car was around an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I listened to the wife telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this occurs on daily basis in Hertfordshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he still had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
