AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Suffolk we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Suffolk to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Thornham Parva (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Suffolk Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle the usual issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
