AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the back of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Kent to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Newbury (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the usual troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Newbury - Newbury Vehicle Misfuel

I had a perfect afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt delighted with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a new family on vacation in Newbury. They had conked out after adding diesel into their Volkswagen, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs on daily basis in Kent and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
