AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bexley we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may well lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Bexley for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Swanscombe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Bexley Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your automobile. They will handle any of the most common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Swanscombe - Swanscombe Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a fantastic afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I was en route to aid a new family on holiday in Swanscombe. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol in their Land Rover, and they were close to half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this situation comes to pass frequently in Bexley and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyhow, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed goodbye and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
