AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Tyne and Wear we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Tyne and Wear to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Monkton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They are also able to handle the common troubles which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Monkton - Monkton Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I was en route to aid a new couple away in Monkton. They stopped after adding diesel in their Jaguar, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed while I heard to the woman chastising her man for being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Tyne and Wear and that it's in reality nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. While they drove away I shouted good bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the very same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
