AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not knowing the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Kent to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Ashford (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car. They will handle the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
