AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Tyne and Wear to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Swalwell (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Tyne and Wear Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Swalwell - Swalwell Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a fantastic evening hiking during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to assist a young family away in Swalwell. They had broken down after inserting the wrong fuel in their Ford, and were around half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her man for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on on daily basis in Tyne and Wear and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he all the same had an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and pondered on what my missus would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
