AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Sussex we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in West Sussex to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Botolphs (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive West Sussex Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to take care of the standard problems which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle."
