AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously do not switch on the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations very easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Caldecote (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Hertfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with any of the most common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
