AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely never start the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.
