AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Wiltshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in The Pitts (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in The Pitts

Usual fuel drain articles in The Pitts:

I am certainly not that inclined to carrying out work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a guy after he put the wrong fuel in his Chevrolet. He was situated in The Pitts and so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my concentration on something else and failed to grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any problems as a result of running it?" I determined truth be told there should not be any damage and that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained at once. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus another contented motorist could carry on with their trip with no hassle. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this is actually what helps make operating on weekends in Wiltshire a little better to me!
