AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Oxfordshire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.
