AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Wheathill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill the car. They will be able to fix the usual problems which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Wheathill - Wheathill Wrong Fuel

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a street in Wheathill. He explained, "My car (a Land Rover) is not starting up and is generating very bad sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
