AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lincolnshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Lincolnshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Colsterworth (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Lincolnshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your automobile. They will handle the usual issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Colsterworth - Colsterworth Wrong Fuel

A gentleman called us from Colsterworth saying he foolishly pumped unleaded into his diesel Porsche. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He thoroughly flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean fuel in the car. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to get the work properly performed.
