AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Suffolk we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously do not start up the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Suffolk to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Norton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Suffolk Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will fix the typical problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
