AdBlue In Diesel

In Warwickshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Warwickshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Tomlow (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the typical issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Tomlow - Tomlow Fuel Removal

A couple weeks ago a customer called us soon after his Suzuki stopped working along a road in Tomlow. He had by accident put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and drove to the road before needing to pull up. It was yet early in the morning and our technical engineer, who lives locally, arrived with him in about 10 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
