AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Norfolk we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Norfolk for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Beetley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Norfolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will fix any of the usual issues which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
