AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people being unsure of how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Ackton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the most common problems that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ackton, West Yorkshire

Wrong Fuel Ackton - Ackton Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented the following morning as I set out to help a new family who were holidaying in Ackton. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Hyundai, and were close to an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in West Yorkshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
