AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Warwickshire we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases fairly easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Warwickshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Exhall (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill the car. They will take care of any of the normal troubles which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Exhall - Exhall Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a terrific day cycling during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I was en route to help a young family who were holidaying in Exhall. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their BMW, and were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal telling off her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this situation goes on on daily basis in Warwickshire and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, but he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!
