AdBlue In Diesel

All over Surrey we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never crank the car - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Surrey to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Egham Wick (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.

A person rang us from his house on a street in Egham Wick. He explained, "My vehicle (a Dacia) is not starting and is creating awful sounds when I turn the key."
