AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.
