AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Barking and Dagenham we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely do not start the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances very simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
