AdBlue In Diesel

All around Staffordshire we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Staffordshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Glascote (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will fix any of the normal issues which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Glascote - Glascote Wrong Fuel Drain

A man contacted us from his place on a road in Glascote. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not starting up and is producing terrible noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
