AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Southwark we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Southwark for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Newington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Southwark Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They will be able to take care of the common issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Newington - Newington Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a great day fishing on the weekend and felt contented with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a new couple holidaying in Newington. They had conked out after putting diesel into their Skoda, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Southwark and that it's really absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor boy. Anyway, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never live it down!
