AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northumberland we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never start the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
