AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lincolnshire we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Northorpe (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the most common problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Northorpe - Northorpe Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a fantastic day hiking on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I set off to aid a new family away in Northorpe. They conked out after adding petrol in their MG, and were approximately an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her man off for actually being so daft. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens regularly in Lincolnshire and that it's in reality nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove away I shouted good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
