AdBlue Contamination
In Greenwich we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Contact us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.
Be aware though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.
