Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kent we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not understanding how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it.
