AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist West Luccombe - West Luccombe Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a terrific evening cycling on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were on vacation in West Luccombe. They pulled over after inserting diesel in their Volkswagen, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the wife telling off her husband for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on regularly in Somerset and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove away I waved hasta la vista and considered what my wife would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
