AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases very easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking spot we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in West Monkton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the normal issues which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
