AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.
