AdBlue Contamination

All over South Yorkshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly don't switch on the car - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can certainly produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in South Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Dodworth Bottom (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the usual troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
