AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Staffordshire we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases pretty simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Staffordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.
