AdBlue Contamination

In Warwickshire we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course never start up the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Warwickshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lighthorne - Lighthorne Wrong Fuel in Car

The other day a motorist phoned us just after his SEAT stopped on a road in Lighthorne. He had mistakenly put unleaded in the diesel motor and got so far as the road before having to stop. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who stays locally, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
