AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.
