AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Oxfordshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in The Platt (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They are also able to deal with the common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A man called us from The Platt to state that he unfortunately piped unleaded into his diesel Renault. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the specialist approximately 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He meticulously purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle.
