AdBlue Contamination

All over Rutland we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists being unsure of how to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
