AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lancashire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.
