AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northamptonshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly never start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances very simply.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
