AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kingston upon Thames we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And of course don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
