AdBlue Contamination

All over Richmond upon Thames we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can potentially result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
