AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Hertfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

This was most definitely what we call the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty quiet up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing looking through a couple of old articles. That was an uncommon calm hour in Hertfordshire. Actually it was indeed so calm that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me start! The customer said: "I've completed my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel Renault in error". We told him to let us know exactly where he was and we set off, arriving in Bishops Stortford 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. As we were going back home we found two young ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we got out to change it, to their elation.
