AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Fuel Removal Stringston - Stringston Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon cycling during my off day and felt cheerful the next working day as I was on the way to aid a young family who were holidaying in Stringston. They had stopped after putting diesel in their Smart, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this occurs all the time in Somerset and that it is nothing to get worried about, however he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd personally never live it down!
