AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Removal Tracebridge - Tracebridge Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a terrific evening hiking on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Tracebridge. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their Nissan, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this happens frequently in Somerset and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
