AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hillingdon we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
