AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Tyne and Wear we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly never crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Tyne and Wear to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Fuel Removal Rickleton - Rickleton Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a perfect day cycling during my off day and felt contented with myself the following day as I was en route to aid a new couple who were on vacation in Rickleton. They had broken down after putting diesel in their Skoda, and they were around an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I listened to the wife telling off her spouse for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem occurs all the time in Tyne and Wear and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I made the very same error... I'd never live it down!
