AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Wandsworth we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Wandsworth to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

We will come to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.

It can't be fun grinding to a halt in a automobile with the improper fuel on the road.

I was so concerned about contaminating my fuel that I was in tears. However I didn't need to worry because you were marvelous in sorting the problem out."

Vehicle Misfuel Southfields - Southfields Fuel Drain

A customer from Southfields with her children in her diesel MINI had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She phoned us weeping and really distraught as she had never wrong fuelled and did not know what might happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that all would be fine and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the children on board."
