AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Oakes (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to take care of the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
