AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Oxfordshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Little Wittenham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They can also fix the common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Little Wittenham - Little Wittenham Fuel Removal

A motorist had broken down near a street in Little Wittenham. His Smart car had stopped working and he'd no clue what was awry until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten no rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
