AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not being totally sure how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most definitely never start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations fairly quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.
