AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Warwickshire we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously do not turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Warwickshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Blackdown (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will fix the most common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Blackdown - Blackdown Petrol in Diesel

A man contacted us from his home on a close in Blackdown. He said, "My car (a Mercedes) is not starting and is making terrible noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
