AdBlue In your Fuel

In Dumfries and Galloway we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Dumfries and Galloway for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Castle Douglas - Castle Douglas Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon golfing on my afternoon off and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a young family who were holidaying in Castle Douglas. They had stopped after inserting diesel into their Mitsubishi, and they were around an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Dumfries and Galloway and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
