AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over South Yorkshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Smithley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the usual issues that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Smithley - Smithley Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a fantastic day hiking on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new family holidaying in Smithley. They conked out after filling diesel in their Ford, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place all the time in South Yorkshire and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove off I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
