AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hackness - Hackness Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a fantastic afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I was on the way to assist a new family holidaying in Hackness. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Suzuki, and they were close to an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I heard to the gal telling off her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing happens constantly in Somerset and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
