AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Doctor Birling - Birling Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a wonderful day fishing on my holiday and felt pleased the following day as I was en route to aid a young couple who were holidaying in Birling. They'd conked out after putting diesel into their Audi, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I listened to the gal berating her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing happens frequently in Kent and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he still got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
