AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously do not crank the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances quite simply.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Waterham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Waterham - Waterham Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a young family holidaying in Waterham. They had broken down after inserting diesel into their Vauxhall, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass quite frequently in Kent and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
