AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Leicestershire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
