AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lewisham we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly never turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
