AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Northamptonshire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will often produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Oundle (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the usual troubles that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Oundle - Oundle Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and felt delighted the following day as I set off to assist a new couple vacationing in Oundle. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their MG, and were about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife chastising her spouse for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing happens constantly in Northamptonshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
