AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northamptonshire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Northamptonshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Cotterstock (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the common problems that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
