AdBlue In your Fuel

In Shropshire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being aware of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly quickly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Yeaton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the standard issues which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Yeaton - Yeaton Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a wonderful evening hiking on my off day and was feeling contented the following day as I was on the way to aid a young family who were holidaying in Yeaton. They had broken down after filling petrol in their Vauxhall, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Shropshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, however he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted so long and thought about what my wife would ask me if I made the same error... I'd never hear the end of it!
