Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Newham we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is going to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
