AdBlue In Diesel

All around Falkirk we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
