AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
