AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Marton-in-the-Forest (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will handle the common issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
