AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Washford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will fix the usual troubles which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Washford - Washford Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing during my afternoon off and felt contented the next working day as I set off to help a young family on vacation in Washford. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their Ford, and they were approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the gal telling off her hubby for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass on daily basis in Somerset and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
