AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Oxfordshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously take care not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Shorthampton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shorthampton - Shorthampton Wrong Fuel

A customer phoned us from his place on a road in Shorthampton. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Citroen) is not starting up and is producing very bad sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
