AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Perth and Kinross we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Perth and Kinross for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.
