AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northamptonshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is going to bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
