AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Clays End (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Somerset Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They can also fix any of the usual issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Clays End - Clays End Fuel Rescue

A customer had stopped just off a road in Clays End. His Volvo car had ceased operating and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten no rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
