AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Barnet we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Barnet to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.
