AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Sussex we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of people not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in West Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in East Harting (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full West Sussex Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the typical problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor East Harting - East Harting Wrong Fuel Doctor

Yesterday a motorist phoned us after his Chevrolet died in the middle of a road in East Harting. He had by mistake put unleaded in his diesel car and was only able to drive so far as the street before having to pull up. It was still early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays locally, arrived with him in less than twenty minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your fast response, particularly at 4 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
