AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Wiltshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously never start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases very easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.
