AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Argyll and Bute we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And of course take care not to turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Argyll and Bute to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Dunoon (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Argyll and Bute Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car.
