AdBlue In Diesel

In Nottinghamshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Nottinghamshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel in Car West Bridgford - West Bridgford Wrong Fuel in Car

A week ago a young man telephoned us soon after his Volkswagen ground to a halt on a street in West Bridgford. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel motor and managed to drive as far as the road before being forced to pull over. It was really early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, got to him in about 15 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."
