AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
