AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Richmond upon Thames we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the car you will likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

This was the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and noone was about. It had been fairly uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were loafing around looking through a number of old articles. That was a rare quiet moment in Richmond upon Thames. It was in fact that calm that the moment the telephone rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I finished my night shift and stupidly put petrol in my diesel Renault". We instructed him to inform us just where the vehicle was and we hit the road, getting to him in East Sheen less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said many thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were coming back home we found two young women at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. So we got out and helped them change it, much to their elation.

Wrong Fuel Drain East Sheen - East Sheen Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a great day cycling during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following day as I was en route to assist a new family on holiday in East Sheen. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Hyundai, and were close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this takes place frequently in Richmond upon Thames and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, and yet he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the same error... I'd never live it down!
