AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Sussex we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in West Sussex to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.
