AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Sussex we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in West Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in West Itchenor (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
