AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Somerset we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very quickly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Somerset for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Stonebridge - Stonebridge Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a terrific evening cycling on the weekend and was feeling pleased the following morning as I headed out to assist a new couple holidaying in Stonebridge. They'd stopped after adding diesel in their SEAT, and they were about an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I heard to the girl telling off her husband for actually being so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing occurs all the time in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted farewell and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!
