AdBlue In Diesel

In Northumberland we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Northumberland to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Alnwick - Alnwick Fuel Removal

A man called us from his home on a street in Alnwick. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Nissan) is not running and is producing terrible noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
