AdBlue In your Fuel

All around North Yorkshire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly do not start the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. If you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Helperthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They can also take care of the common problems that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

It only took our fuel drainer approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle.
