AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
