AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cornwall we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Cornwall to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of fuel in Bude-Stratton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Cornwall Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.

Petrol in Diesel Bude-Stratton - Bude-Stratton Petrol in Diesel

A customer contacted us from his house on a road in Bude-Stratton. He explained, "My car (a SEAT) is not starting and is creating very bad sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle however thought he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
