AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around South Yorkshire we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course don't start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in South Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Great Houghton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will fix any of the common issues which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
