AdBlue Contamination

All around Lewisham we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely never start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases rather easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
