AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Kibbear (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill the car. They will deal with any of the normal troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Kibbear - Kibbear Petrol in Diesel

A customer had broken down just near a street in Kibbear. His Hyundai engine had ceased working and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got no sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason.
