AdBlue In your Fuel

All over West Sussex we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in West Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Elsted (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home.
