AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very simply.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

We will help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also fix the usual problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
