AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hillingdon we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely never start the car - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Hayes End - Hayes End Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a great afternoon golfing on my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I set out to help a young family away in Hayes End. They'd conked out after inserting petrol in their SEAT, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the woman berating her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this problem occurs continuously in Hillingdon and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I made the same blunder... I would personally never hear the end of it!
