AdBlue Contamination

All around West Midlands we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start up the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in West Midlands for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Fuel Removal Castle Bromwich - Castle Bromwich Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic day cycling during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were vacationing in Castle Bromwich. They conked out after filling diesel into their Fiat, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I heard to the woman telling off her man for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass quite frequently in West Midlands and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted farewell and considered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
