AdBlue In Diesel

In Hertfordshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will likely result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Hertfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of fuel in Rushden (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will take care of the common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Rushden - Rushden Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a perfect afternoon fishing during my off day and felt delighted the next day as I set out to aid a new couple away in Rushden. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their MG, and were about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on constantly in Hertfordshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Poor boy. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
