AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Shropshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Crackleybank (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also take care of the most common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
