AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Leicestershire we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Leicestershire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Great Dalby (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal problems that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
