AdBlue Contamination

In West Midlands we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course be careful not to start up the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in West Midlands for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.
