AdBlue In Diesel

In North Yorkshire we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

A lady from Barlow with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Mazda had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the Co Op station. She contacted us crying and really worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that all would be ok and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the little ones on board."

A customer phoned us from his place on a close in Barlow. He exclaimed, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not running and is producing terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
