AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Upper Littleton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill the car. They can also fix the typical issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
